One of the most viral meme coins of 2024 is set for its highly-anticipated December launch, having now ended its ICO stage. 

Pepe Unchained (PEPU) raised $73 million on presale as the FOMO reached a fever pitch, and has now announced that it will be listed on crypto exchanges on Tuesday, December 10th at 2pm UTC.

Initially that is expected to be Uniswap - follow the project’s Twitter (X) to be notified of the correct links to Uniswap or DEX aggregators like DEXTools and DEXScreener - beware of fake tokens that are listed before the official listing. As with any crypto ICO, admins will not DM you first - beware of accounts imitating admins which send unsolicited DMs.

A top-tier centralized crypto exchange is also reportedly set to be revealed alongside the DEX listing.

Whales Buy PEPU Just Before ICO Sells Out

Pepe Unchained has appealed to whales from the very start of its ICO. Back in July, a whale purchased $500k worth of PEPU in a single transaction. 

Similarly, another whale stacked over $220k worth of the meme coin in 4 separate transactions, data from Etherscan reveals. 

$50k buys in a single transaction were almost daily occurrences for Pepe Unchained. In mid November, a deep-pocketed investor swapped over $150k worth of ETH for PEPU. 

Just a few minutes later, another whale purchased $120k worth of the meme coin. 

That could bode well for its performance on exchanges once listed next week.

Pepe Unchained Goes Viral In Closing Days of Presale

2024 has seen an influx of new meme coins, especially with the hype about the upcoming ‘meme coin supercycle’. 

Donald Trump’s re-election, Elon Musk’s continued backing of memes and meme coins and the Fed’s rate cuts have resulted in extreme bull market euphoria. Experts are also projecting an influx of retail investors as the Bitcoin price has now hit $100k and Dogecoin has also rallied close to its former ATH. 

With such a backdrop, even run-of-the-mill meme coins can deliver outsized returns. However, Pepe Unchained isn’t an ordinary meme coin. 

PEPU is a high-utility meme coin with many in-demand features. For instance, holders will soon be able to enjoy extremely low trading costs and instant transactions, features missing in most new Ethereum coins, thanks to Pepe Unchained’s Layer-2 chain.

This is the perfect formula to attract retail investment, along with the project’s staking pool which is currently offering passive income at an APY of 52%. 

Similarly, Pepe Unchained is launching a meme coin launchpad on Ethereum, a direct competitor to Solana’s Pump Fun. Builders on Ethereum no longer need coding skills or a development team to launch a high-potential meme coin. 

Pepe’s Pump Pad will do it for them in just two clicks. They can even apply for developer grants through a program called Pepe Friends With Benefits. 

Pump.fun has been a remarkable success and has launched billon-dollar meme coins like $GOAT and $PNUT. It saw nearly $80 million in revenue in November.

It’s possible that Pepe’s Pump Pad will see similar success, especially since Ethereum has a much larger user base as compared to Solana. 

Pepe Unchained - Next 100x Meme Coin?

Several prominent crypto influencers are bullish on Pepe Unchained’s upside potential. 

For instance, YouTuber ClayBro, with over 130k subscribers, projects that PEPU could make ‘millionaires’. 

In another video, he expects that Pepe Unchained could be one of the best-performing meme coins of late 2024. 

Similarly, Nass Crypto, who has over 1 million YouTube subscribers, is impressed with the meme coin’s unique value proposition. His recent video has over 111k views. 

However, those who missed the presale will now need to buy Pepe Unchained on exchanges on Tuesday from 2pm UTC - follow the official socials for the correct links to Uniswap, DEXTools, DEXScreener and similar platforms to trade PEPU. Find its official Twitter here and Telegram here.

To claim Pepe Unchained presale tokens, connect the same wallet used to buy the tokens on the pepeunchained.com website on December 10th, at 14:00 UTC. Don’t connect a wallet to unofficial sites or provide anyone your seed phrase.

Entering the trading world can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Starting with just $85, I managed to turn it into $800 in a few weeks. This journey taught me critical lessons about strategy, discipline, and patience—lessons that any beginner can use to achieve success. Let me walk you through my process, step by step, so you can replicate it with confidence.

Starting Small with a Clear Plan

I began with $85, a small amount I was comfortable risking as a complete beginner. My first step was to set two essential rules:

1. Risk Management: I committed to never risking more than 5% of my capital on a single trade. This ensured my account could survive even if I faced consecutive losses.

2. Achievable Goals: Instead of chasing big profits overnight, I aimed for steady, manageable gains of 2-3% per day, compounding my capital gradually.

I chose Binance as my trading platform due to its low fees, extensive range of cryptocurrencies, and beginner-friendly tools.

Laying the Foundation: Learning the Basics

As someone new to trading, I invested time in understanding the fundamentals before risking real money. I focused on:

Market Trends: I studied historical price movements and learned to identify patterns like support, resistance, and breakouts.

Indicators: I used tools like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to gauge overbought or oversold conditions and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to spot trend shifts.

Divergences: Understanding how bullish and bearish divergences worked helped me predict reversals with confidence.

Free resources like YouTube tutorials, beginner e-books, and forums provided invaluable insights during this learning phase.

The Trading Strategies That Worked

To build my account, I used a combination of scalping and swing trading strategies:

Scalping: I made quick trades, aiming to profit from small price movements over a few minutes or hours.

Swing Trading: I held positions for 2-3 days, targeting larger price trends for better returns.

I focused on high-liquidity coins like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and well-established altcoins, avoiding obscure tokens with unpredictable price swings.

Profitable Trades and Key Decisions

1. Spotting Bullish Trends:
While analyzing BTC, I identified a bullish divergence on the RSI. I entered a long trade with $40 and set a tight stop-loss to manage risk. Within a few hours, the price surged, earning me a 15% profit—a quick $6 boost to my capital.

2. Swing Trading for Bigger Gains:
After researching a mid-cap altcoin, I allocated $50 to a swing trade. Over four days, the coin rose by 20%, netting me a $10 profit. By reinvesting these profits, I steadily compounded my gains.

3. Compounding Wins:
Every small win was reinvested into my next trade, gradually increasing my position sizes without raising my risk exposure. This compounding effect allowed my account to grow exponentially.

Valuable Lessons Learned

1. Discipline is Non-Negotiable:
I stuck to my strategy, avoided impulsive trades, and didn’t let emotions drive my decisions.

2. Stop-Loss Orders Save Accounts:
Protecting my trades.

Mistakes I Avoided Along the Way

Overtrading: Early on, I realized that making too many trades led to unnecessary losses. I learned to wait for strong setups instead of forcing trades.

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): I avoided coins that were being hyped up on social media without solid analysis, as they often resulted in losses.

Neglecting Research: Whenever I skipped proper research, I found myself in losing trades. Thorough analysis became my priority for every position.

The Results: Reaching $800

After just four weeks of disciplined trading, my account grew from $85 to $800. By reinvesting my profits smartly and sticking to my risk management rules, I scaled my trades while keeping my risk low. This growth wasn’t just about the money—it was a confidence booster that proved even beginners can succeed with the right mindset and approach.

Advice for New Traders

1. Start Small: Use an amount you’re comfortable risking and focus on learning rather than making quick profits.

2. Invest in Education: Take the time to understand market trends, chart patterns, and trading tools before diving in.

3. Keep a Trade Journal: Recording every trade helped me identify what worked and avoid repeating mistakes.

4. Be Patient: Trading success doesn’t happen overnight. Focus on building your skills and compounding small wins.

Final Thoughts

Transforming $85 into $800 wasn’t about luck—it was about strategy, discipline, and consistency. This experience taught me that with a clear plan and the willingness to learn, anyone can start their trading journey and achieve meaningful results.

If you’re ready to dive in, remember this: trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Stick to your strategy, manage your risks, and focus on progress rather than perfection. You’ll be amazed at what’s possible when you stay disciplined.
