I do think this is great. Good purchase! Pastured eggs are worth paying Bitcoin for!
However, one thing that I am noticing as I read more of the social notes on nostr is that almost everyone is using mobile phones for wallets and purchases.
As someone with experience with tech privacy, this seems to be a major weak point. Mobile phones are notorious for spying on the actions of the user and reporting them. If you mistakenly give a phone app the ability to record your screen (screenshot), then having your crypto seed phrase just visible on the phone could lead to the loss of whatever is in that wallet.
I just can't see crypto-currency as safe to use while using a device controlled by BigTech (Apple, Google, Microsoft).
Let me know your thoughts on this.
