Even better, I should sell just a paper (well, an electronic one) stating you own some thin air. Hey, geeks, how cool can this get?
I am sure I could find buyers in the same market as cryptocurrencies.
PS: This is not directed at you, but you expressed the level of pointlessness and... void that reigns in this 'market', so I picked your message to place my joke/rant.
In the performance piece, Zone de Sensibilité Picturale Immatérielle (Zones of Immaterial Pictorial Sensibility) 1959–62, he offered empty spaces in the city in exchange for gold. He wanted his buyers to experience The Void by selling them empty space. In his view this experience could only be paid for in the purest material: gold. In exchange, he gave a certificate of ownership to the buyer. As the second part of the piece, performed on the Seine with an Art critic in attendance, if the buyer agreed to set fire to the certificate, Klein would throw half the gold into the river, in order to restore the "natural order" that he had unbalanced by selling the empty space (that was now not "empty" anymore).

You just have to make sure not to be one of those idiotic idiots left holding the idiot bag like an idiot.
That reminds me of "Perri-Air" from the movie Spaceballs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzbIrb7LUJA
Of course, this just shows how bad the air pollution is in China. Then again, water bottle brands like Nestlé's Poland Spring Water are just using "Poland Spring" as a gimmick and a ad-bait. So you definitely can sell thin air at different price based on "where the air was collected."
That idea has been around for hundreds of years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulgence
It'll be able to handle 8x as much air transfer as yours and have a minority following that will always bite at your heels
It's already sold in France. "Air de Montcuq" -> air de mon cul ( air from my ass )
They received a significant sum in offers…

In concept, it's obviously not the joke you're making. In practicality, it's exactly the content of your joke.
That's basically what this is:
Have fun, but don't bet your life on it.
Mabye in the future it can be more than a speculation, but right now it's a game.
