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.

Digital Settler

A group who emulate colonial behavior in the digital space. They scour the internet for novel ideas from specific industry thought leaders, then produce content that is typically an inferior copy—poorly understood, half-baked, or selectively weaponized against the original intent. These diluted ideas are then disseminated through platforms like Instagram, Substack, and Patreon. This group often self-identifies as "content creators," "artists," or "journalists."
Jack is a total digital settler. He just reads Varoufakis and repackages the ideas as his own, but they're half-baked and devoid of their original meaning. "
