This is one thing I wish for nostr: the ability to change your private key yet keep everything else (posts, followers, etc.). I don't know if it's technically even possible, but I also use Hive (hive [dot] io) and it's very possible and easy there.

FYI, what you are asking for exists. Unfortunately mainstream Nostr developers are actively ignoring it, so there is no adoption and almost no discussion:
The way it usually goes, your online identity is your private key. If the key is compromised, there goes your identity. Inkan fixes that.
You keep a master key in cold storage and a signing key for everyday use. If the signing key ever leaks or gets lost, the master revokes it and delegates to a new one. Same identity, same followers, fresh signing key.
If you'd like to take a look at the prototype: https://www.inkan.cc. Log in with your NIP-07 extension and say hi to the test identities already walking around. Or make one of your own.
