The Tao of The DAO: Taxing an Entity That Lives on a Blockchain presents the following source proposition: tax system and presents the many tax issues that these structures raise. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Despite early cautioning and a call for action from its own commissioners, the SEC has not addressed core issues pertaining to the recognition of blockchain technology applications in finance. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
