In this specific technology case. 1. I think a single "password/key" as access to your entire life is an absolutely terrible idea. 2. for the majority of people that means your entire life on someone else's servers (which, yes, is how things are now, and it's bad) I don't think you should have enough, or really anything to lose on someone else's servers or even on your own phone. Technology is going to move forward with or without me, that's not lost on me, but I think there are simply some problems that should not be solved with technology, so I guess I'm arguing for caution?

1. Terrible because being a single point of failure? If so I agree. But also then, mitigation could be either to be cautious about what that key is securing, or managing a set of keys for specific purposes (although fair enough, we'd be back to square 1 in regards of device engagement 😅 ) With 2. I can't agree more as well. As for that matter nostr is also friendly towards running self hosting setups; that being said, self hosting could also be prone to single point of failure risks, ie, `centralizing' servers at home prone to $5 wrench's 🤔
