f76b65597c rio: add 4 claims (economies of edge, compressed fundraising, capital formation, GDP impact), enrich 2 claims, archive 6 sources
- What: 4 new claims to domains/internet-finance/:
  1. LLMs shift investment from economies of scale to economies of edge
     (Theia's 80/20 inversion — 5 analysts replace 100, structural validation of Living Capital)
  2. Internet capital markets compress fundraising from months to days
     (MetaDAO/futard.io + Claude Code founders, confirmed by Theia + ceteris)
  3. Crypto's primary use case is capital formation, not payments or store of value
     (disagreeable reframing from 3 independent credible voices in Feb 2026)
  4. Internet finance generates 50-100 bps additional GDP growth
     (Theia's quantified projection — remittance 7% to <$0.01, 5B people, new asset classes)
  Enriched 2 existing claims:
  - "Giving away the intelligence layer" — Theia's 80/20 validates intelligence is cheap
  - MetaDAO platform analysis — Theia holds MetaDAO for "prioritizing investors over teams"
  Archived 6 sources to inbox/archive/.

- Why: Theia's "Investment Manager of the Future" is the structural argument for why
  Living Capital vehicles become viable now. LLM cost collapse makes domain-expert
  micro-funds structurally competitive. Three independent voices converging on capital
  formation as crypto's primary use case in the same month suggests organic thesis
  adoption. GDP impact data quantifies Belief #5 (legacy intermediation is rent-extraction).

- Connections:
  - Economies of edge directly validates Living Agent model and Position #2
  - Compressed fundraising connects MetaDAO platform to solo founder wave
  - Capital formation reframing challenges payments/store-of-value narratives
  - GDP impact quantifies Belief #5 with Theia's macro data
  - Theia's MetaDAO holding provides institutional credibility for Position #4
