How far deep down the Bitcoin rabbit hole do you have to go before you become an undesirable new date to a normie?

To the SINGLE people over 21 years old, are you looking for a normie that you feel will eventually convert, or is being a bitcoiner top of your list and contributing towards you still being SINGLE?
To those already hooked up, are mixed relationships sustainable?

For completness, here is another article on Nostr privacy worth reading by @1440000bytes on Twitter.
I suppose all this to say the nostr protocol is finding it's feet and is being built before our very eyes.
What an exciting time to be alive with so much innovation around us to tinker with.

#[6] has a good writeup on Nostr Security and Privacy Tips worth reading.
You do not need to sign in with your private key to read notes. Private key is only needed when “writing”. That includes liking, commenting, boosting, etc.
The protocol is young and actively being worked on. The privacy and security risks are known and are being discussed.
The nostr protocol and associated clients we end up having when this hits a critical mass is likely to look very different to what we have and use today.
What is a good length random character passphrase to add to a 12/24 word seed to secure against a potential future where a popular hardware wallet does a recall?
Verifying backups and backup media periodically is sound advice.
Also, getting into the habit of "measure twice, cut once" when performing root level tasks.
Death is an essential part of the circle of life.
In a world where anti-aging tech is common place we would have to redefine the concepts of Life, Living and Death.
You will never need a watch-only Bitcoin wallet on your phone that directs to your offline signing device holding your entire stack of sats.
While it could be convenient to create addresses on the go, mobile watch-only wallets introduce real world privacy risks. Don’t do it.
With SSH keys, if someone gains access to your computer/server, the attacker can gain access to every system that uses that key. To add an extra layer of security, you would add a passphrase to your SSH key.
The same is true for your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase. This is a list of words which store all the information needed to recover Bitcoin funds on-chain.
Protect your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase with a passphrase.
12/24 words + passphrase = 🔑🧡
However, forgetting this passphrase will result in the bitcoin wallet and any contained UTXO being lost. It is therefore important that you document your passphrase and store seperate to your 12/24 word seed recovery phrase.
Today is a good day to re-read the #Bitcoin whitepaper 🧡

If you are a prominent figure, even an OG, and you have a physical server at a hosting facility it is probably best you enable Full Disk Encryption and lock BIOS access, even while having your server in a locked cage at the facility.
Problem with this setup is that you would need to drive to the hosting facility to put in your password each time the server reboots.
One option to counter this is to host your server at home, as the OpenBSD folks do.
Another option would be to go the secure public Cloud route using AWS, GCP or Azure.
There are ways to design, build and operate workloads in the public cloud using well-architedted frameworks.
