- What: standalone print version of internet-finance-compression-v1 with
inline figure callouts at strategic points + full Appendix C consolidating
every chart source with direct URLs. Adds pandoc PDF conversion command.
- Why: m3taversal requested a print-friendly version with the best charts
from the research. Charts couldn't be embedded as images (most are
paywalled or behind dashboards), so each is presented as a boxed callout
with description, source, takeaway, and direct URL — the print reader
gets the substance without needing image fetch, and the Appendix doubles
as a deck-builder reference.
- Figures (9 inline + supplementary list):
1. Philippon 130-year flat line (AER 2015)
2. Finance share of US corporate profits 1947-2024 (FRED)
3. Seven-layer fee stack
4. Mega-round share of VC 2015-2025 (Wilmer Hale / Crunchbase / CB Insights)
5. Hyperscaler capex tripled 2024-2026 (Goldman / Bain / McKinsey)
6. AI capex vs historical infra cycles (rail / electrification / telecom)
7. Carta pre-seed barbell (disappearing middle)
8. MetaDAO OTC pricing record (9/9 across 29 months)
9. Private markets fee stack comparison (legacy vs on-chain)
