I am thinking through the idea that The nsec (or very well put “secret” as you say) is property itself. It’s a key to the audience, or reach, or attention, that has been built over time, by the owner. 

You own it until you give it away, sell it, or are hacked & have it stolen. But critically it’s not possible to debase it ok the back-end (you can’t be cancelled)

I believe there will be a flourishing market for nsec re-sales in the futur, as ofc the need to communicate with certain engaged sub-groups of people will exist 

Critically, unlike when buying an IG account etc, the new owner wil know that they can not have it taken away. Similar to an email address, but given how the Nostr app ecosystem is developing, 10x more valuable (eg you can’t send btc via email)

Very happy to be proven wrong. But really enjoying where this thought process is taking me
