Pepe was born in Microsoft Paint.
Before the memes, before the internet knew his name, Matt Furie drew Pepe in his Play Time zine using Microsoft Paint.

Now the original frog is paired with the stock of the company behind Paint.
The first $PEPE built around the Microsoft origin story.

The internet spent years redrawing Pepe in MS Paint. For free.
Matt Furie once said he doesn’t make royalties off those “crappy MS Paint jobs.”
The original frog was already born in Microsoft Paint. And now he’s paired with Microsoft.

Bullish tape on $MSFT.
$PEPE is paired with Microsoft’s stock token. So the dollar price moves with two things:
The meme versus Microsoft, and Microsoft versus the dollar.
If $MSFT rips, $PEPE rips with it.
Feels good man.
$MSFT = stability. I own it.
$NVDA = AI dominance. I own it.
$META = ads + AI. I own it.
$AMZN = cloud + shopping.
I still haven’t bought it.
If I could only keep one for 10 years,
I’d probably pick the boring one.
Which one would you hold?
Before Pepe became an internet icon, he was a drawing made in Microsoft Paint.
That origin story is documented by Matt Furie himself:
“a little zine I made on Microsoft Paint called Playtime.”
Pepe’s first canvas was Microsoft.
