**Affirmed position.** Blockchain Beyond Cryptocurrencies: A Study on Its Impact on Corporate Governance Practices presents the following source proposition: The world is being revolutionized by technological breakthroughs worldwide, and Blockchain technology is a formidable innovation expanding beyond its original development as a technology for bitcoins. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Despite the obvious benefits of technology applications in corporate governance, the technological revolution has not yet produced wide acceptance of unmediated or decentralized corporate governance structures and practices. 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.
