Nyms add respect in this space, at least from my perspective. Using a Nym tells me extra things about your thinking and how long you've been interested in the cypherpunk space. The implication is a stronger understanding of the risks of bearer assets.

I use my Nym at local meet ups even though there are people there who know my government name because we met via non #bitcoin connections. Bitcoiners are cool people like that so no one has doxxed me. I trust them not to. Some at my local group are Nym or government first name in person.

TLDR, even if you end up fully doxxed, keep using the Nym.
