Payroll Tax Compliance and Blockchain presents the following source proposition: Bitcoin is an application that runs on blockchain technology. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Even if a state or the federal government passed a law granting a court authority over blockchain smart contract disputes, it is hard to see how the court could in fact exercise that authority short of limiting access to the internet itself. 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.
