I don't think this is bad advice.

Keep in mind we are coming from a perspective of people who literally thinks about BTC security all day every day. Your average person doesn't do this and often can't even keep their Twitter account secure. The difference is now they lose their life savings instead of somebody tweeting from their account.

BITKEY IS PERFECT FOR THE PERSON YOU JUST DESCRIBED.

Bitkey has no screen like nostr:npub1tg779rlap8t4qm8lpgn89k7mr7pkxpaulupp0nq5faywr8h28llsj3cxmt.

Why should I trust my computer? What am I missing?

You are likely comfortable handling private key material directly (safeguarding seed phrases), but I suspect most of your friends and family lack the time or interest to properly research and study how to do this. So for them Bitkey is a safer solution than exchanges or self custody wallets with footguns.

Bitkey is nice. Hope I can review it soon.

SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID PERFECT. NOTHING IS PERFECT BUT IT IS GREAT FOR THAT TYPE OF USER.

EASIER TO USE SECURELY THAN TWITTER OR EMAIL.

this note is perfect

True but I'd say Bitkey is addressing the problem by moving from pure self to collaborative custody
