Momentum NOT stopping for Notcoin
Notcoin — where players just click on an animated coin to mine a crypto that’s not even out yet — has roped in millions and millions of players in less than a month since it dropped. Sasha Plotvinov, founder of Notcoin devs OpenBuilders, isn’t sure why, but he has some ideas.
“I’d put it down to its viral and simple mechanics that encourage users to invite their crypto ‘frens’ from Telegram messenger,” Plotvinov tells Web3 Gamer.

The banner on their X account literally says “probably nothing,” so I guess no one can be too upset if a token listing never happens.

Although he sees it coming that some players might just sell their stash of NOT upon its listing and then ghost the game for good.
“We can foresee that a few people with limited interest in Notcoin will leave and sell (that’s good, actually). We are happy to focus on building subsequent phases with those who stay and have an active interest,” he…
