**Affirmed position.** The Law and Economics of Blockchain presents the following source proposition: While cryptocurrencies have received much attention, the implications of DLT are potentially far reaching. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that DAOs will replace many organizations that lack their incentive structures and efficiencies, and because DAOs are cheap and straightforward to clone, their proliferation will increase competition while their distributed and anonymous nature prevents natural and political monopolies. 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.

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