Disney and Dapper Labs: Not Quite Partners, But Still Collaborators

Disney Refuses to 'Partner' With Crypto Companies

Disney Refuses to ‘Partner’ With Crypto Companies

So, turns out my previous article on the Disney-Dapper Labs partnership had a few mistakes. Surname misspelled, quotes misattributed – my bad. But let’s focus on the bigger issue here – the whole “partnership” claim seems to be incorrect. Oops. Time for some clarification.

According to Dapper Labs’ head of PR, Rachel Rogers, Disney is not partnering with Dapper. They’re merely licensing their intellectual property (IP) to them. Hey, it’s like lending your friend your favorite book, but you still fully own it. No joint custody here.

But hang on, what does this mean for Dapper Labs? Well, they get to play with Disney’s beloved characters and iconic IP, which could potentially be a gold mine. Think about it – Disney fanaticism runs deep. People collect Disney junk like there’s no tomorrow. So why not work with something that already has a fanbase, instead of asking them to buy a JPEG with a blockchain pointer? That’s like trying to build a brand from scratch in the middle of a desert.

Sure, Dapper Labs had some success with NBA Top Shots, where they licensed IP to sell tokens. But let’s face it, that’s small fry compared to Disney. The Lion King versus a basketball? No contest.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Disney must be swimming in cash, right? Well, we don’t know the financial breakdown of this deal. But it’s not far-fetched to imagine that Dapper Labs is paying a pretty penny for the privilege of using Disney’s IP. And trust me, that IP is valuable. It’s like buying a piece of the moon, only it’s way cooler because it has Mickey Mouse on it.

But here’s the catch – it’s not a partnership. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Crypto companies love throwing around that word like teenagers with their first set of car keys. Ethereum and Amazon are about as much of a partnership as a Google Cloud subscription is a deal. Let’s keep things honest, people.

And speaking of honesty, the crypto industry has a bit of a reputation problem. We’ve got fraud left and right, promises of solving the world’s problems, and yet, we still can’t buy stuff online without feeling like we’re living in a spy movie. Crypto, my friends, is the George Santos of financial technology – cringy and untrustworthy.

But hey, maybe this Disney-Dapper Labs collaboration can change that perception. Maybe, just maybe, they can create something exciting and non-cringy in the world of NFTs. Time will tell.

So, fellow digital asset investors, let’s keep our eyes peeled for what happens next. And if things go well, we might just have a NFT project that even non-crypto enthusiasts can get behind. Because let’s be real, who can resist a digital collectible with Mickey Mouse on it?

For now, let’s enjoy the ride and remember – honesty is the best policy, even in the wild world of crypto. Stay tuned for more updates, and may your investments be as mythical as a unicorn riding a blockchain. Cheers! 🦄✨
