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.

I think Nostr needs more users, not more microblogging features.
