Happy Sunday Nostr! Is it Nostriches or Nosterinos or ________?

I find myself tonight wanting to take the orange pill, but don’t have the time.
I love the decentralized nature of Nostr, but I have a nagging concern about my Nsec. If this secret is ever compromised, my entire identity across Nostr is compromised.
Is there a method to rotate breached nsec based on my npub? How would this work?
I would only possess an authenticate token, my npub, that anyone would know or could find out. I like how private Nostr is, but without having my nsec/npub associated with another identity like my email, it seems like I must protect my nsec at all costs.
I store my nsec in 1Password, so I’m not overly concerned about disclosure of my nsec locally, but I worry that another strength of the Nostr ecosystem (as I understand it after using it for 48 hours) could prove to be a security weakness: all Nostr clients must protect my nsec equally. If one of them ever mis-handles this secret, my entire Nostr identity is compromised.
Am I understanding Nostr Authentication properly?

First 24 hours on Nostr impressions:
- Lots of activity which is nice to see!
- Most people are really into bitcoin. I’m not, but am curious. Is this a requirement to enjoy Nostr long-term? Maybe it will take more users to increase the popular topics
- What is a zap and how is it different from a sat?
