Of all the companies to get into cryptocurrency, Disney weren’t first on my list, but it makes sense.

I mean, they have a looot of money, and that alone gives you a bunch of reasons to invest in cryptocurrency.

Reason 1) It could be a good investment – maybe I’ll make even more money.

Reason 2) I, Disney Corp, have almost 100 billion dollars in assets. I’m bored of having so many billions of dollars, and I’m going to see if having 100 billion in crypto assets is any more fun.

Reason 3) Man. I could buy, like, 100 billion hats. Wait, what were we talking about?

Dragonchain!

It’s actually a pretty interesting project.

Described as “cryptocurrency agnostic”, it’s actually more about the use cases of blockchain than it is about crypto (100 billion hats it is, then). The Dragonchain project began as the Disney Private Blockchain Foundation in 2014 as an open source blockchain. Launched by Disney, it has officially switched hands and is now technically under the leadership of Dragonchain Foundation, a non-profit organisation.

Dragonchain basically aims to create a platform for developers to interact and share data, making the difficult process of creating smart contracts more user-friendly and accessible. The project focuses on the idea of contracts and while cryptocurrencies can play a role, that’s up to the developers, it’s not a necessary feature, something that has helped gain Dragonchain both a wider audience and also some appreciation from a community inundated with tokens of limited use.
