A digital asset is an asset that exists in digital form or represents something of value digitally. The term can describe
everything from a website, domain name, software application, ebook, video, database, or digital intellectual property to cryptocurrency, tokens, NFTs, and tokenized real-world assets. NIST defines a digital asset broadly as something that is purely digital or a digital representation of a physical asset.That broad definition matters because the Internet has created an entire economy in which people can create, own, operate, license, trade, protect, and monetize digital assets.
This guide explains what digital assets are, the different types, how digital ownership works, how digital assets create value, and how you can build your own.
What Is a Digital Asset?
At the simplest level:
A digital asset is a digital thing that has value, utility, ownership rights, or economic potential.
A digital asset can be:
- something you create
- something you purchase
- something you license
- something you own
- something that generates income
- something that represents another asset
- something that provides access or utility
- something that can be transferred to another person
Examples include:
- websites
- domain names
- blogs
- YouTube channels
- newsletters
- ebooks
- online courses
- software
- mobile apps
- SaaS products
- photographs
- videos
- music
- digital designs
- templates
- databases
- datasets
- APIs
- trademarks and other digital intellectual property
- cryptocurrencies
- tokens
- NFTs
- tokenized securities
- tokenized real-world assets
The important point is that digital does not automatically mean cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency is one category of digital asset.
It is not the definition of the entire concept.
Why the Term "Digital Asset" Can Be Confusing
The term is used differently in different industries.
In technology
A digital asset may mean a digital file, application, database, website, account, piece of intellectual property, or other digital resource.
In digital marketing
Digital assets can include:
- websites
- blog content
- images
- videos
- ebooks
- email lists
- social content
- brand assets
In business
A digital asset may be an online property that contributes to business value.
In finance and blockchain
Digital assets often refer to assets created, represented, transferred, or recorded using blockchain or distributed-ledger technology.
CFA Institute describes digital assets as an investment class involving assets that can be created, stored and transmitted electronically with associated ownership or use rights, including cryptocurrencies, tokens and digital collectibles.
This gives us two useful perspectives:
Digital asset = broad technology/business concept
Blockchain-based digital asset = specialized financial/technical category
Both are valid depending on context.
The Digital Asset Economy
The Internet changed what it means to own an asset.
In the physical economy, an entrepreneur might own:
- land
- buildings
- machinery
- inventory
- vehicles
- equipment
In the digital economy, an entrepreneur can own:
- a domain
- a website
- software
- an online store
- a YouTube channel
- an email audience
- digital intellectual property
- a database
- an online community
- a SaaS application
- a digital product catalog
These assets can sometimes produce value without requiring the owner to be physically present.
That creates a powerful economic model:
CREATE → OWN → OPERATE → GROW → MONETIZE → TRANSFER
The Main Types of Digital Assets
Digital assets can be organized into several major groups.
1. Websites
A website can be much more than a collection of webpages.
It can become:
- a media property
- an online store
- a software interface
- a lead-generation system
- an educational platform
- a membership site
- a publishing business
- a marketplace
- a SaaS application
A website can therefore function as both a digital property and a business asset.
2. Domain Names
A domain name is a human-readable Internet address such as:
example.com
Domains are part of the Internet's naming infrastructure.
They can also have economic value because memorable, short, descriptive, brandable, or strategically useful domains can be valuable to businesses.
ICANN's 2026 new gTLD program highlights how domain infrastructure itself can function as a strategic digital identifier for businesses, communities and other organizations.
However, domain ownership should not be confused with owning a physical piece of the Internet.
A domain is registered through a domain registrar and exists within the global Domain Name System.
3. Blogs
A blog can become a digital asset when its content, audience, search visibility, brand, technology, email list, and revenue streams create economic value.
A successful blog may generate value through:
- advertising
- affiliate marketing
- sponsored opportunities
- digital products
- courses
- memberships
- consulting
- software
- lead generation
The important distinction is:
A blog post is content.
A successful blog can become an asset.
4. YouTube Channels and Digital Media Properties
A YouTube channel can become a valuable digital media property through:
- original videos
- audience
- subscribers
- search visibility
- brand recognition
- intellectual property
- advertising revenue
- sponsorships
- affiliate revenue
- products
- services
The channel itself is not simply a collection of videos.
Its value can come from the system surrounding the content.
That system can include:
CONTENT + AUDIENCE + BRAND + DISTRIBUTION + REVENUE
5. Digital Products
Digital products are products that can be delivered electronically.
Examples include:
- ebooks
- templates
- spreadsheets
- design assets
- online courses
- guides
- checklists
- presets
- software
- plugins
- digital downloads
- research reports
- educational materials
Unlike physical inventory, many digital products can be reproduced and delivered at very low marginal cost.
That does not mean they are automatically profitable.
The real value depends on:
- usefulness
- quality
- demand
- differentiation
- distribution
- trust
- pricing
- customer experience
6. Software
Software can be one of the most powerful digital asset categories.
Examples include:
- desktop applications
- mobile applications
- web applications
- APIs
- plugins
- browser extensions
- developer tools
- automation systems
- SaaS products
A software product can generate value through:
- subscriptions
- licenses
- usage fees
- advertising
- transactions
- enterprise contracts
- paid features
Software can therefore function simultaneously as:
technology + intellectual property + product + business asset
7. SaaS Applications
SaaS means Software as a Service.
Instead of selling software once, a company can provide access to software through an ongoing service.
Examples include:
- project management platforms
- accounting applications
- CRM systems
- design tools
- AI applications
- analytics platforms
- communication systems
A SaaS business can become particularly valuable because its asset base can include:
- software
- source code
- database
- customer relationships
- brand
- domain
- recurring revenue
- proprietary processes
- intellectual property
8. Digital Intellectual Property
Intellectual property can be extremely important in the digital economy.
Examples include:
- written works
- photographs
- illustrations
- software code
- videos
- music
- educational materials
- designs
- trademarks
- brand elements
- inventions and related rights
The exact legal rights depend on the type of intellectual property and jurisdiction.
One important principle is:
Having a digital copy does not necessarily mean you own the intellectual-property rights associated with it.
Buying an ebook, for example, generally gives you rights defined by the applicable license or terms—not ownership of the author's copyright.
9. Digital Data Assets
Data can become a valuable business asset when it is legally collected, managed, protected, and useful.
Examples include:
- customer data
- product data
- market data
- research datasets
- geographic data
- financial data
- analytics data
- machine-learning datasets
Data becomes more valuable when it can support:
- decision-making
- automation
- personalization
- research
- forecasting
- artificial intelligence
- business intelligence
But data ownership is not unlimited.
Privacy laws, contracts, intellectual-property rights, confidentiality obligations and other regulations can affect how data may be collected, used, transferred and monetized.
10. Email Lists and Digital Audiences
An email list can be a valuable digital business asset because it represents an audience that has chosen to receive communications.
Its value can come from:
- trust
- relevance
- engagement
- size
- purchasing behavior
- niche specialization
However, an email list is not simply a database to exploit.
Good email assets depend on:
- permission
- privacy
- relevance
- deliverability
- trust
- useful content
Audience ownership is therefore closely connected to digital trust.
11. Online Communities
Communities can become digital assets when they have:
- active members
- valuable knowledge
- strong relationships
- specialized expertise
- recurring participation
- economic activity
Examples include:
- professional communities
- membership platforms
- learning communities
- developer communities
- private forums
- paid groups
The asset is not merely the list of members.
The real value is often the network and relationships.
12. APIs
An API can become a digital business asset.
An API allows software systems to communicate with each other.
A company can build an API that provides:
- financial data
- maps
- weather information
- AI functionality
- search
- analytics
- payment functionality
- business information
The API can then be monetized through:
- subscriptions
- usage-based pricing
- developer plans
- enterprise contracts
13. Digital Brands
A digital brand can include:
- name
- domain
- logo
- visual identity
- content
- reputation
- audience
- intellectual property
- customer relationships
The brand can become more valuable as recognition and trust increase.
This is why a domain name alone may be worth less than the complete digital business built around it.
14. Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is one of the most recognizable forms of blockchain-based digital asset.
Examples include:
- Bitcoin
- Ether
- other crypto assets
These assets are recorded and transferred using blockchain or similar distributed-ledger technology.
The SEC's 2026 materials define a crypto asset in this context as a digital representation of value recorded on a cryptographically secured distributed ledger.
Cryptocurrencies are different from websites, ebooks and ordinary digital files because their ownership and transfer can depend on cryptographic networks.
15. Tokens
A token is a digital representation created on a blockchain or similar network.
Tokens can represent different things, including:
- utility
- governance rights
- financial claims
- ownership interests
- access
- other digital or real-world relationships
The legal and economic characteristics of a token depend on what it actually represents and how it is structured.
Therefore:
Token ≠ automatically cryptocurrency
and:
Token ≠ automatically security
Classification depends on the asset and applicable law.
16. NFTs
NFT stands for non-fungible token.
Unlike interchangeable units such as ordinary currency, each NFT is designed to be individually identifiable.
NFTs have been used for:
- digital collectibles
- artwork
- memberships
- tickets
- gaming assets
- credentials
- digital experiences
An important lesson is that owning an NFT does not automatically mean owning all intellectual-property rights to the associated artwork or content.
The rights depend on the terms governing the particular NFT.
17. Stablecoins
Stablecoins are digital assets designed to maintain a relatively stable value against a reference asset, such as a currency.
They can be used for:
- payments
- settlement
- transfers
- trading
- digital-asset transactions
Their legal classification varies according to their design and jurisdiction.
In the United States, 2026 regulatory developments have significantly increased attention around payment stablecoins and their legal treatment.
18. Tokenized Real-World Assets
Tokenization involves creating a digital representation of an asset or financial instrument using distributed-ledger technology.
Potentially tokenized assets include:
- securities
- real estate interests
- funds
- debt
- commodities
- other financial or physical assets
The SEC's 2026 statement explains that a tokenized security is a security represented as or through a crypto asset, with ownership records maintained wholly or partly on a crypto network.
Tokenization therefore connects two worlds:
Traditional assets + blockchain infrastructure
This is one reason digital assets have become an important topic in modern finance.
Digital Asset vs Digital File
Not every digital file is automatically a valuable asset.
A photograph stored on your phone is a digital file.
It may become a digital asset when it has:
- economic value
- ownership rights
- intellectual-property value
- commercial utility
- licensing potential
- strategic importance
The distinction is:
Digital file = format
Digital asset = value + rights + utility or economic significance
Digital Asset vs Financial Asset
These terms should also be separated.
A digital asset describes something digital.
A financial asset represents financial value or a financial claim.
Some assets belong to both categories.
For example:
Tokenized security = digital + financial
But:
Website = digital, but not necessarily a financial asset
And:
Traditional paper share certificate = financial asset, but not necessarily a digital asset
This distinction prevents a lot of confusion.
Digital Asset vs Cryptocurrency
The relationship is:
Digital Assets
→ Digital business assets
→ Digital media assets
→ Digital intellectual property
→ Digital data assets
→ Blockchain-based assets
→ Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrency is therefore a subset of the broader digital-asset universe.
Financial institutions often use “digital assets” specifically for blockchain-based investments, which is why context matters.
How Digital Assets Create Value
A digital asset can create value in several ways.
1. Utility
It performs a useful function.
Example:
Software → solves a problem
2. Access
It gives access to something.
Example:
Membership token → provides access
3. Ownership
It represents or establishes rights.
Example:
Digital security → represents financial rights
4. Attention
It attracts an audience.
Example:
YouTube channel → attracts viewers
5. Information
It contains useful information.
Example:
Research database → supports decisions
6. Intellectual property
It contains legally protectable creative or technical work.
Example:
Software code → intellectual property
7. Cash flow
It produces revenue.
Example:
SaaS application → subscriptions
8. Scarcity
Some digital assets derive value partly from limited supply.
Example:
Certain domains or collectible tokens
Scarcity alone does not guarantee value.
The scarce thing must also be desirable or useful.
How to Build a Digital Asset
A simple digital-asset development framework is:
PROBLEM → IDEA → CREATION → OWNERSHIP → DISTRIBUTION → AUDIENCE → MONETIZATION → GROWTH
Step 1: Identify a problem
What do people need?
Step 2: Create something useful
Build the asset.
Step 3: Establish ownership
Determine what intellectual-property, contractual, account, domain, licensing, or other rights apply.
Step 4: Distribute it
Put it where users can discover it.
Step 5: Build an audience
Create trust and repeat usage.
Step 6: Monetize it
Choose a suitable business model.
Step 7: Improve it
Use customer feedback and data to make the asset more valuable.
Examples of Digital Assets You Can Build
You don't need blockchain technology to create digital assets.
You could build:
A website
Domain + content + audience + revenue
A newsletter
Email audience + specialized information + monetization
An ebook
Knowledge + intellectual property + distribution
A course
Curriculum + educational content + platform + audience
A SaaS application
Software + users + recurring revenue
A mobile application
Code + product + distribution + users
A database
Data + structure + utility + access
A YouTube channel
Content + audience + brand + distribution
An API
Data/functionality + infrastructure + developers + pricing
These can all become assets that grow in value when properly managed.
How to Monetize Digital Assets
Different digital assets support different monetization models.
| Digital Asset | Possible Monetization |
|---|---|
| Website | Ads, affiliates, products, services |
| Blog | Ads, affiliates, courses, products |
| YouTube channel | Ads, sponsorships, affiliates, products |
| Ebook | Direct sales, bundles, licensing |
| Course | Course sales, memberships |
| Software | Licenses, subscriptions |
| SaaS | Recurring subscriptions |
| API | Usage fees, subscriptions |
| Newsletter | Sponsorships, subscriptions, products |
| Community | Memberships, courses, services |
| Domain | Development, leasing, sale |
| Dataset | Licensing, subscriptions, analytics |
| Digital IP | Licensing, royalties, products |
The important lesson is:
Build the asset first. Choose the monetization model that naturally fits the asset.
Digital Assets Can Become Businesses
A digital asset can start small.
For example:
Domain
↓
Website
↓
Useful content
↓
Search traffic
↓
Audience
↓
Email list
↓
Digital product
↓
Revenue
↓
Business
The original asset may have been nothing more than a domain and an idea.
The value came from what was built around it.
Can Digital Assets Be Sold?
Yes, depending on the asset and the applicable terms and laws.
Digital businesses and properties can be bought and sold.
Marketplaces such as Flippa list websites, online businesses and digital assets for sale.
Assets that can potentially be transferred or sold include:
- websites
- domains
- SaaS businesses
- apps
- newsletters
- digital products
- online businesses
- certain intellectual-property rights
But transferability is critical.
A YouTube channel, social account, software license, domain, customer database, or other digital property may have platform rules or legal restrictions governing transfer.
Never assume that because you control an online account, you automatically have an unrestricted right to sell or transfer it.
How Do You Value a Digital Asset?
Digital assets do not all have the same valuation method.
A website might be evaluated using:
- revenue
- profit
- traffic
- audience
- growth
- search visibility
- customer base
- brand strength
- intellectual property
A SaaS business might additionally be evaluated using:
- recurring revenue
- retention
- churn
- customer acquisition cost
- lifetime value
- growth rate
A domain might be evaluated using:
- length
- memorability
- keywords
- brandability
- extension
- commercial relevance
- comparable sales
A cryptocurrency requires a completely different framework involving factors such as:
- network activity
- supply
- demand
- utility
- token economics
- liquidity
- adoption
- technology
- competition
- regulatory risk
There is no universal “digital asset valuation formula.”
How Do You Protect Digital Assets?
Digital assets require digital security.
Important measures include:
- strong authentication
- multi-factor authentication
- secure passwords
- access controls
- backups
- encryption
- domain protection
- account recovery planning
- software updates
- secure hosting
- permission management
- monitoring
- incident-response planning
For blockchain assets, security also includes:
- private-key protection
- wallet security
- seed-phrase protection
- transaction verification
- smart-contract risk management
Losing control of a digital asset can sometimes mean losing control permanently.
Digital Ownership Is Not Always the Same as Physical Ownership
Digital ownership can be more complicated than physical possession.
When you purchase a digital product, you may receive a license to use it, rather than ownership of the underlying intellectual property.
When you buy a domain, you generally hold registration rights under the applicable domain-registration system.
When you own cryptocurrency, control may depend on cryptographic keys.
When you own a tokenized security, your rights depend on the legal and technical structure of the instrument.
Therefore, always ask:
What exactly do I own?
Then ask:
What rights come with that ownership?
And finally:
Can those rights be transferred, licensed, sold, inherited, or revoked?
Custody: Who Controls the Asset?
Custody is particularly important for financial digital assets.
Consider three different situations.
Platform custody
A company holds or controls the asset on your behalf.
Self-custody
You control the relevant credentials or private keys yourself.
Hybrid custody
Control and responsibility are divided between you and a service provider.
Self-custody can provide greater direct control but also greater personal responsibility.
If you lose critical credentials, there may be no conventional customer-service department capable of reversing the loss.
Digital Assets and Blockchain
Blockchain technology introduced a new model for recording ownership and transfers.
Instead of relying exclusively on a centralized database, blockchain networks can maintain distributed records.
This enables digital assets to be:
- issued
- transferred
- recorded
- verified
- programmed
- settled
However, blockchain does not magically solve every ownership problem.
A blockchain can record that an address controls a token.
It does not automatically determine every legal right associated with the real-world object that token might represent.
That is why tokenization requires both:
technical infrastructure
and
legal/contractual infrastructure
Tokenization: Turning Assets Into Digital Representations
Tokenization can be understood as:
REAL-WORLD OR FINANCIAL ASSET
↓
LEGAL/ECONOMIC RIGHTS
↓
DIGITAL REPRESENTATION
↓
BLOCKCHAIN RECORD
The digital token can make ownership records or transfers more programmable.
But the token's value depends on the rights attached to it.
The SEC's 2026 discussion of tokenized securities specifically notes that different tokenization structures can provide different rights to holders.
Digital Assets and Regulation
Digital assets exist across multiple legal categories.
Depending on the asset and jurisdiction, regulations may involve:
- securities law
- consumer protection
- taxation
- intellectual property
- privacy
- financial services
- anti-money-laundering requirements
- data protection
- payments regulation
This is particularly important for blockchain-based assets.
For example, the U.S. SEC issued a 2026 interpretation clarifying the application of federal securities laws to certain crypto assets and transactions.
Nigeria is also actively developing its digital-asset regulatory framework. In August 2026, the Nigerian SEC published proposed rules covering digital and virtual asset issuance, tokenization, trading, custody, transfer, settlement, investment and related services.
Rules can change quickly.
If money or regulated financial activity is involved, always check the current rules in your jurisdiction.
Digital Assets and the Future of Ownership
The broader movement toward digital ownership is likely to continue across several areas:
- tokenized securities
- digital identity
- digital credentials
- software
- online businesses
- digital intellectual property
- data
- AI-generated assets
- digital collectibles
- digital payments
- programmable money
- tokenized real-world assets
But the important development is not simply that more things are becoming digital.
It is that ownership, access, identity, value and transactions are increasingly being represented through digital systems.
AI Is Creating New Digital Assets
Artificial intelligence is expanding the types of digital assets people can create.
AI can help produce:
- software
- images
- videos
- audio
- written content
- datasets
- workflows
- agents
- applications
- research systems
- digital products
This creates an important question:
Who owns an AI-generated asset, and what rights apply to it?
The answer can depend on:
- how the asset was created
- the AI provider's terms
- the user's contribution
- applicable copyright law
- the jurisdiction
- whether third-party material was involved
AI therefore makes digital-asset ownership more important—not less.
Build & Monetize
Digital assets are particularly powerful because you can create them yourself.
A practical path is:
Beginner
Build:
- a blog
- a newsletter
- a YouTube channel
- an ebook
- templates
- educational resources
Monetize through:
- advertising
- affiliate marketing
- product sales
- services
Intermediate
Build:
- websites
- niche databases
- automation systems
- mobile apps
- APIs
- digital courses
- online communities
Monetize through:
- subscriptions
- memberships
- licensing
- usage fees
- digital products
- consulting
Advanced
Build:
- SaaS platforms
- AI applications
- data products
- developer platforms
- marketplaces
- digital infrastructure
- tokenized systems
Monetize through:
- recurring revenue
- transaction fees
- enterprise contracts
- licensing
- usage-based pricing
- platform fees
The key principle is:
Don't chase digital assets simply because they are digital. Build assets that solve real problems.
A Digital Asset Portfolio
You can think about your digital assets as a portfolio.
For example:
CONTENT ASSETS
→ Blog
→ YouTube channel
→ Newsletter
PRODUCT ASSETS
→ Ebook
→ Course
→ Templates
TECHNOLOGY ASSETS
→ Website
→ SaaS
→ API
→ Mobile app
AUDIENCE ASSETS
→ Email subscribers
→ Community
→ Customers
INTELLECTUAL ASSETS
→ Brand
→ Copyrighted works
→ Software
→ Research
FINANCIAL DIGITAL ASSETS
→ Crypto
→ Tokens
→ Digital securities
→ Tokenized assets
This perspective changes how you think about the Internet.
You are not merely using the Internet.
You can build assets on the Internet.
The Digital Asset Flywheel
One asset can create another.
For example:
KNOWLEDGE
↓
CONTENT
↓
AUDIENCE
↓
TRUST
↓
PRODUCT
↓
CUSTOMERS
↓
REVENUE
↓
CAPITAL
↓
SOFTWARE
↓
DIGITAL BUSINESS
↓
MORE ASSETS
This is one of the most important economic ideas behind the creator economy and Internet entrepreneurship.
Common Digital Asset Mistakes
Mistake 1: Confusing ownership with access
Having an account does not necessarily mean owning the platform or its underlying data.
Mistake 2: Ignoring platform rules
Digital platforms control their own systems and terms.
Mistake 3: Forgetting security
A valuable digital asset with weak security is a vulnerable asset.
Mistake 4: Building without demand
A technically impressive product can still have little economic value if nobody needs it.
Mistake 5: Ignoring legal rights
Content, software, trademarks, data and financial assets can have different legal frameworks.
Mistake 6: Assuming digital means free
Creating a digital asset can involve:
- hosting
- software
- domains
- APIs
- advertising
- labor
- data
- infrastructure
Mistake 7: Confusing speculation with asset building
Buying a token because you expect its price to rise is fundamentally different from building a useful website, application, dataset or software product.
A Practical Digital Asset Checklist
Before creating or buying a digital asset, ask:
VALUE
What problem does it solve?
OWNERSHIP
Who legally owns it?
RIGHTS
What exactly can the owner do with it?
CONTROL
Who controls access?
SECURITY
How is it protected?
DEMAND
Who wants it?
DISTRIBUTION
How will people find it?
MONETIZATION
How can it create revenue?
TRANSFERABILITY
Can it be sold, licensed or transferred?
MAINTENANCE
What does it cost to keep operating?
RISK
What could destroy its value?
GROWTH
How can the asset become more valuable?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a website a digital asset?
Yes. A website can be a digital asset when it has utility, ownership rights, intellectual property, audience, revenue, or other economic value.
Is Bitcoin a digital asset?
Yes. Bitcoin is a blockchain-based crypto asset and is commonly classified as a digital asset. The exact legal classification depends on jurisdiction and context.
Is cryptocurrency the same as a digital asset?
No. Cryptocurrency is one category within the broader digital-asset universe.
Is an NFT a digital asset?
Yes. NFTs are blockchain-based digital assets designed to represent individually identifiable tokens.
Is a domain name a digital asset?
A domain can be treated as a digital business asset because it can have economic, branding and strategic value. Its registration and legal rights are governed by the domain system and applicable agreements.
Is an ebook a digital asset?
Yes. An ebook is a digital product and can contain intellectual-property rights and commercial value.
Can digital assets make money?
Yes. Depending on the asset, they can generate revenue through advertising, subscriptions, sales, licensing, memberships, transactions, royalties, services or other models.
Can digital assets lose value?
Absolutely.
A website can lose traffic.
A software product can become obsolete.
A domain can lose commercial relevance.
An audience can disappear.
A cryptocurrency can fall dramatically.
A tokenized asset can lose value.
Digital does not mean risk-free.
Are digital assets safe?
There is no universal safety level.
Security depends on the asset, technology, provider, ownership model, custody, legal framework and the behavior of the owner.
Can I create digital assets without knowing how to code?
Yes.
You can create many digital assets using:
- website builders
- blogging platforms
- design tools
- no-code applications
- AI-assisted tools
- ecommerce platforms
- digital publishing platforms
Coding becomes increasingly useful as you move toward custom software, APIs, automation and advanced applications.
The Big Picture
The Internet has created a new category of economic opportunity:
DIGITAL OWNERSHIP.
You can create a website.
You can build software.
You can publish knowledge.
You can develop an audience.
You can create intellectual property.
You can build a database.
You can launch a SaaS application.
You can develop an API.
You can create digital products.
And in the blockchain economy, digital networks can also represent ownership, financial claims, access rights and other forms of value.
The most important distinction is this:
A digital asset is not valuable simply because it is digital. It is valuable when it provides useful, desirable, scarce, protected, transferable, or economically meaningful value.
That leads to a powerful way of thinking about the Internet:
Don't just consume digital products.
Learn to create digital assets.
Learn to own them.
Learn to protect them.
Learn to grow them.
Learn to monetize them.
And eventually:
Build a portfolio of digital assets that creates value even when you are not actively working on every individual transaction.
