Q&A: Are there other types of digital assets?

Notes from Chris

Episode 1385

Our story of a woman in New Zealand who sells virtual paintbrushes for iPad users (episode #457) was very popular, and a listener is wondering: are there any other “digital assets” that can be made for resale?

This topic is one of those “whole new world” concepts that maybe some of our listeners think is totally normal—and of course, future generations won’t think there’s anything out of the ordinary about it—but for anyone my age or older, there’s still this element of wait, how does this work?

"Hi Chris, this is Amber from Toronto and I’ve been listening to the show for a couple of years and still loving the puns. I really liked the story of the woman in New Zealand who sells virtual paintbrushes for iPad software. I never knew such a thing existed! It got me thinking: what else is like this? Of course I know about things like ebooks and apps, but the paintbrushes seem like a different category. What about all of the items that people buy for games like Fortnite and Starcraft? Or something else? I love the idea of selling something for real money in a virtual world or digital platform."
