Blockchain 2.0 presents the following source proposition: Since the emergence of Bitcoin, much has been done to develop and extend blockchain technologies. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Private fund advisers' increasing use of blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and big data is a distinct source of downward pressure on the traditional 2/20 fee structure that commentators have not examined. 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.
