"3SUM Economy" is an attempt to examine on the common criticisms against cryptocurrencies and NFTs that are mired in a "zero sum" mindset. Cryptocurrencies and NFTs are accused of being incapable of creating wealth and utility while the utility of analogous systems are normalized and criticisms dismissed.

This work hopes to add to the conversation about examining the reality of the ecosystem that we've developed around digital goods and intellectual property.
