# kaal:position:2026-07-31-7052

**Affirmed position.** Book Review of Handbook of Blockchain Technology presents the following source proposition: The book is organized into four parts, covering blockchain's role in the Metaverse, the rise of NFTs and tokenization, decentralized governance through DAOs, and the challenges of global adoption. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that AI powered DAOs that autonomously generate revenue are especially hard to regulate or dismantle, because the same blockchain security features that protect the organization also make it difficult to intervene once it is operational. 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.
