2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one tag is operable to be read using automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technologies including near field communications (NFC), quick response (QR) codes, bar codes, radio frequency identification (RFID), universal product codes (UPCs), biometrics, magnetic strips, optical character recognition (OCR), smart cards, image and/or video analysis, passive reader active tag (PRAT) technologies, active reader active tag (ARAT) technologies, and/or active reader passive tag (ARPT) technologies.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the asset data includes a product name, a category, a description, and/or a quantity.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one smart disc is at least two smart discs, and wherein the at least two smart discs are in network communication with each other.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to authenticate the asset based on the tag data of the asset.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to create the at least one tag.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to learn the inventory using artificial intelligence algorithms, and wherein the inventory is organized into at least one collection and/or at least one set.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transactions include buying the asset, selling the asset, trading the asset, loaning the asset, renting the asset, marketing the asset, upgrading the asset, maintenance of the asset, customer services related to the asset, and/or repair of the asset.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to make recommendations based on the inventory of assets, the virtual marketplace, social media activity, user activity, asset reviews, and/or user reviews.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cloud platform is operable to generate at least one report.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one smart disc is further operable to send the first weight data and the second weight data to at least one other smart disc.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the current location is determined using a Global Positioning System (GPS).

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the current location of the asset is tracked in real time via the GPS, and wherein the at least one cloud platform is configured to transmit at least one notification to the at least one wearable device in real time upon detection of a location change of the asset via the GPS.

14. A system for asset tagging and management, comprising:

at least one tag affixed to an asset;

at least one smart disc including at least one sensor operable to acquire data from the at least one tag;

at least one user device;

at least one cloud platform including a virtual marketplace; and
