@Anita Since you boosted/reposted this note, did you notice what is going on with onchain zaps recently here? Amethyst and Ditto have implemented these, and they use your nsec as a Bitcoin wallet, which causes address reuse with all its consequences.

Address reuse is not only bad for the privacy of the whole network but also reused addresses will be an easy target for (in case they come) quantum computers as the public key has been exposed in a previous transaction. It’s already implemented? That I did not realize. I thought it’s a discussion for now.
It is actually always an issue since if you get these onchain zaps, you are in possession of these coins and your nsec is the private key to these coins. Nostr keys are generated the same way Bitcoin Taproot addresses are generated. Amd everyone can see that you have these coins and how you spend them.
