Some reflections on the @coolcats effectively abandoning the Web3 component of the brand… First…an analogy… When someone is offered a job at a new company, their current employer often makes a counter offer to keep them. I rarely do this practice. Money is almost never the reason someone applies for a new job. In my experience, even when an employee accepts your counter offer, they leave in the next couple of years because the reason is deeper. As I understand it, @cloncast’s passion has always been Blue Cat and the story around it. The brand was an unexpected NFT success, and they leaned into it. Web3 became a distraction, not a purpose. I think he and the team doubled down to force for a passion for a brand into a tech company…something they weren’t built to do. Minting another collection, the milk token, the game…these were all like taking a job you don’t want, just for money. The deeper passion was always Blue Cat. And to be fair, the team likely believed all this was leading back to the proliferation of Blue Cat - people were paying $50K for picture of him, after all. Regardless, now we’re here, and it feels like nobody won. Cool Cats is effectively a failed tech business they were never meant to be in the first place, and the community is left lost wondering what they paid for. Another part of Web3 history, and a good lesson to really map back to your “why.”
