Replying to Avatar Nelson Cardozo

Small story: a journalist, friend, asked me if I could explain what the heck is this NOSTR that the Twitter CEO was talking (sic)..happily, I started to show him how it works, what can you (and can't) do with this and his face was 🤯

- OK, and how do I create my account?

(proceeds to explain and show how to keep their PK safe)

- wait a minute, what happen if I lose my pk or something similar? How do I recover them?

(proceeds to explain how to keep his PK safe part 2 and also some additional info of how I manage my keys)

- Nah, it's too hard and I have a reputation to protect.

Instead of arguing, I just say "ok" but my doubt remains: NOSTR is censorship resistant, protect his reputation means that if he/she make a mistake and their PK got lost, how do they get back? Will they have to all start over again?

That happened weeks ago but, I keep thinking and while I agree with this note, also want to give voice to this specific concern.

This is the beautiful thing about Nostr.

Once the Normie gets over the fact that their Nostr account is protected by a very complex secret, they're primed for Bitcoin.

Nostr requires some user responsibility. The risks are low & the benefit is permissionless expression. As the ban hammer swings, more & more will see the Nostr value proposition.

It's a sly roundabout way to get people comfortable with responsibility. This is the only way to freedom.
