Abstract Mining Game Bigcoin Attempts Revival After 93% Crash
Bigcoin, the Abstract-based crypto mining game that briefly captivated nearly 70,000 users in April, is staging an unexpected comeback. The project's native token BIG has surged 290% in the past month despite remaining 93% below its April 11 peak.
The game's original mechanics required players to purchase VIRTUAL rooms and spend BIG tokens to deploy mining rigs - ranging from pixelated computers to Pudgy Penguin NFTs. Early hype collapsed by June, with daily new users dwindling to under 40.
Revival efforts now rest with community members after pseudonymous founder 'Bigtoshi' abandoned the project. Key among them is 'BoredElon', a self-described Bigcoin whale and alleged former game developer who fiercely guards his real identity.
