 I'm no techie, so please allow me to try to wrap my head around the concept. Does this mean that we could use our nsec as a seedphrase for a Bitcoin wallet? And vice versa, 12 words as a nsec? 
 A seed phrase can derive both the public and private keys for Bitcoin addresses, as well as Nostr's npub and nsec. Npub and nsec can be understood as public and private keys in a customized format, which can be converted between the two formats. 
 I see. I wonder if there's a direct, straightforward application for that though. 
 To our knowledge, there are currently no Nostr clients that reuse npub as a Bitcoin address. There are already clients that use a seed phrase, such as Keychat. 
 Absolutely.  An nsec is a private key.  Not quite the same as a seed phrase which derives private keys.  But you could code it to do the same thing.  What your npub/nsec can do, is receive and send bitcoins, testnet coins, and colored coins on the bitcoin network, or even litecoins if that appeals to you. 
 I'd be cool if we could add our Nostr key pair to our "regular" bitcoin wallets, then. I know nothing about what that would entail of course, but it sounds not super complicated (for devs)? 
 Opt oh uh he had. 
 It is definitely getting there, love the progress.
