**Affirmed position.** THE IMPACT OF BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY ON FINANCIAL SERVICES presents the following source proposition: Decentralization:One of the most fundamental aspects of blockchain is decentralization, eliminating the need for intermediaries like banks or clearinghouses. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Cloud computing is the enabling substrate for decentralized solutions rather than their competitor, because it has already established that applications can talk to each other, an integration that decentralized networks will extend. 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.
