I used to think that only factories, machines, and land count as productive assets.

Later, I realized that in the internet era, a high-quality self-media account is also a productive asset.
It doesn’t produce steel or cars, yet it can continuously produce knowledge, influence, trust, and cash flow.
What’s truly valuable isn’t the account itself, but the insights you’ve accumulated over the long term—and the willingness of others to spend time reading your content.
So, I’ve been putting more and more emphasis on operating my own website and social accounts. Because they’re not consumer goods, but digital productive assets that can continuously create value.
