The Cool Cats NFT Project was supposed to release their Play2Earn NFT game, Cooltopia, along with their Cool Pets NFT drop. But not everything went as planned. When the Cool Cats NFT Project released their $MILK token and Cooltopia, the system was attacked by bots. They had to push back the evolution of their Cool Pet NFTs, as well as all of Cooltopia.  

The NFT community didn't have the most positive response to this situation. A lot of Cool Cats NFT holders sold their Cool Cats NFTs, as the floor price for the NFT project went from 15 ETH to 7-8 ETH.  

1/1 Demon Cat holder, SighDuck, who is heavily involved in the Cool Cats community, joined me to discuss the future of Cooltopia. Should Cool Cats NFT holders still have conviction in the NFT project? Was it reasonable to sell their Cool Cats NFTs? Will the Cool Cats make a comeback? Will Cooltopia reach the level it was meant to?
