Notcoin founder: Click-to-earn money model is not sustainable
However, Notcoin is just a meme currency after all, and does not have practical functions like ZK and ZRO. Sasha, the anonymous founder of Notcoin, also pointed out in an exclusive interview this month that he does not think this model of earning in-game currency by clicking buttons for free is sustainable.
I don’t think it’s going to last forever, I don’t think it’s going to be sustainable in any way.
In my opinion, only games with a sustainable model will survive.
Therefore, Sasha hopes to get Notcoin away from the narrative of a clicker game. The plan for the next four years is to make the project independent of the team by building a sustainable and efficient subsystem.

Now, 94.18% of NOT is in the hands of 11.5 million people, including traders, miners, stakers, etc. 5.82% will be used for development in the coming years.
With the community as a key stakeholder, the future looks bright.
How will Notcoin develop next as the most successful meme coin in the TON ecosystem? It deserves our continued attention.
