Digital asset

Digital asset is an information resource derivative of the right to a value and circulating in the distributed ledger in the form of a unique identifier.

The term takes into account the essential semantic features of the phenomenon under consideration and is characterized by four components: economic, legal, information, value.

1. Economic component is represented by a unique identifier.

2. Legal component is represented in the legal field by a derivative of the right. A digital asset is not the right to a value in its interpretation, but it has attributes of a derivative of the right to a value.
3. Information component is represented in the IT field by an information resource circulating in the distributed ledger. Information on a value presented in a digital form has such main properties of an information resource as:

a) information is structured according to certain parameters and categories;

b) information is recorded on a digital medium;

c) information can be stored, transmitted, exchanged, used, etc. In addition, a digital asset in our understanding has an additional property – information on a value is formed by the owner of this value.
4. Value component is represented in the field of tangible and intangible assets by the “value” component. Digital asset is a kind of a guaranteed right to claim a certain value inherent in this digital asset. In other words, a digital asset serves as a digital display of value.
Therefore, a digital asset is a set of digital (binary) data that are autonomous, uniquely identifiable and have a certain value.

Digitally Handicapped

Someone who is unable to handle the modern digital world. A digitally handicapped person choses to live in an analog world and has trouble keeping up with the modern digital world.

A digitally handicapped person can't operate anything digital and have trouble understanding the basic concepts of the digital world like websites and apps.

Digitally handicapped people might try to go digital at some point but are most prone to phishing or social engineering attacks. Boomers who have recently created a Facebook account may or may not be in in this category.

This does not include people who understand the digital world and then choose to be offline for privacy reasons to limit digital footprints.
Person 1: Hey, checkout this app I made for making appointments with doctors online. Isn't it cool?
Person 2: What's an app?
Person 3 to Person 1: Show me, don't worry about him, person 1 is digitally handicapped.
