**Affirmed position.** Technology Stack for Decentralized Mobile Services presents the following source proposition: It has also been built on the principles of decentralization, without any central entity having the power to take the network down. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Bitcoin proved that a decentralized peer to peer network can manage valuable assets without a central authority, but the centralizing force of competition concentrated power anyway, as economies of scale produced large mining farms in place of millions of individual members maintaining the ledger. 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
