@rufus Pollock , I'm working through our YY claims, have been keeping the issue updated as I go. I have been using obsidian!! Pushed changes to /claims/is-better-payments and /notes/bitcoin-as-anti-authoritarian pages which are now both primary claims pages. Also removed all links to the now defunct /claims/is-authoritarianism page but was nervous to completely delete it without getting the go ahead. I have now learnt how to create a new branch so did that for the next primary claim page i was working on: /notes/fintech-incrementalism-and-responsible-innovation and have submitted the pull request. Let me know if that is the method by which I should proceed (as opposed to making changes to the main branch).

@rufuspollock I realized after pushing my edits to the fintech claim page that I didn't change the title to reflect the claim (currently still has the title from the deep dive). So flagging that as a TODO, wasn't sure if I could go back and make that edit after submitting the pull request.

@EilidhRoss1 great job. can you add links to commit or pull request for changes so it is easier for me to review them. I've started adding above so you can see what i mean.
