by becoming less in use, it becomes more valuable, which will ultimately bring it back. what are the economics behind this.
the great abundance of pepes devalued them and led to increased demand from foreign importers, which led to a greater interest in pepes on sites such as twitter, tumblr, reddit, message boards, etc. this golden age of widespread pepe enjoyment was ultimately unsustainable, as the rarity of pepes decreased to the point of making the common pepe practically worthless. this resulted in consumers settling for other, more reliable memes that would hold their value, and now the pepe is making a slow pull back toward its equilibrium rarity.
