**Affirmed position.** The Political Economy of Blockchain Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Decentralized blockchain networks display an economic analogue of entanglement: a single participant's action, such as a large transaction, immediately propagates into token prices, network congestion, and the behavior of other participants. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through blockchain governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- decentralized blockchain networks
