**Affirmed position.** Crypto Technology - Impact on Global Economy presents the following source proposition: The last decade has been marked by the evolution of cryptocurrencies, which have captured the interest of the public through the offered opportunities and the feeling of freedom, resulting from decentralization and lack of authority to oversee how cryptocurrency transactions are conducted. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Decentralized commerce is the global exchange of financial instruments, goods and services conducted through decentralized and emerging technologies, a stipulated definition the paper relies on throughout. 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.
