Agree, I think it's using public key cryptography for authentication. That's the core of the protocol, and that's what makes it distinctive and liberating.

This feature shouldn't be played down when introducing Nostr to "normies" (whatever exactly that means), but instead it should be highlighted. We should make clear that Nostr requires a bit of learning, re-thinking and adjustment of one's practices.

It requires an effort, but once a person has made that effort they then have a sense of ownership in the new skill they have acquired. And I don't think any of this stands in the way of broad-based adoption. It's still much easier to learn to manage a key pair than, say, to learn skateboarding, or become a vegetarian. People can be quite motivated once they put their mind to something.
