Goblintown Rolls Out Memecoin Complaint Hotline—Because Crypto Needs More Drama

Goblintown—the meme project that turned absurdity into a token—just upped the ante with a dedicated hotline for disgruntled bagholders. Because nothing says 'serious financial innovation' like a 1-800 number for crypto tantrums.

### When Memecoins Meet Customer 'Service'

The hotline promises to 'listen to your grievances' about price volatility, rug pulls, or existential despair. No word yet if they'll offer therapy coupons for those who bought the top.

### A Masterclass in Priorities

While DeFi protocols battle hacks and regulators, Goblintown invests in... phone infrastructure. Because in 2025, the real utility play is letting degens yell at a voicemail.

Closing thought: If your token's roadmap includes a complaint department, maybe reconsider your life choices—or double down. This is crypto, after all.

Despite this, GOB is down roughly 60% in the past two days since its launch and has lost about 18% in the past 24 hours, with its market cap falling from a $30 million high to about $7 million as of Friday morning.

But it’s not over yet — and only about 10% of the total token supply is in circulation, according to the project’s “greenpaper.”

“It hasn’t even been 72 hours but that feels like a lifetime in Web3/crypto. Two thoughts about the future,” Taub told me in a DM. “The first is one thing I’ve heard from a few people is that we are trying to be too smart about all this stuff for our own good and should just get back to the goblin vibes. The second is we released a TikTok filter in conjunction with $gob and it feels like it has REAL mainstream potential.”

Regardless of what GOB’s price is doing, I do think the Truth team continues to find creative and funny ways to capture moments in crypto culture. That may continue to have some appeal. 

The original NFTs came around a time when some traders were starting to embrace the chaotic degeneracy of the market and the volatility of NFT mints. The “WAGMI” NFT era was waning. Some Goblintown holders took to roleplaying as goblins at the time, posting about their obsessions with urine (yes, really).

For their Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game, the team set up a DMV waiting simulator that was quirky and frustrating in equal measure.

If upset about GOB for whatever reason, there’s a hotline that lets callers complain. I called it, and all I’ll say is it’s real, and expect a long wait.

“Feel free to call our $gob Hotline on Telescram at (954) 869-4462(4GOB) and try to reach us,” a blog post reads. “We are open 24/7/365, but good luck getting an employee to pick up.”
