**Affirmed position.** Blockchain: balance of anonymity and security presents the following source proposition: The purpose of the article is to summarize the problems of the relationship between anonymity and security when using blockchain technologies. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The immutability of the blockchain and its cryptographic security systems provide transactional guarantees that create trust between principals and agents in the integrity of their contractual relationship, and ensure that no participant can circumvent the rules embedded in blockchain code. 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.
