I'd argue the microblogging use-case is not very comparable to the bitcoin use case. Nobody splits their Twitter into several Twitters. The ratio (usually) is one microblog per one human. You can't have a "burner nsec" to be used for just one note in your timeline posted when something about where you are makes you feel a bit more exposed. And this one microblog is meant to be constantly updated, from all over the place, and integrated into lots of spots. Cold wallets for bitcoin make sense. Nothing about microblogging is cold—it's constantly warm by nature

I get that FROST represents a reasonable trade off for certain enthusiast types, but it's still very much a trade off and very much in the enthusiast realm, doesn't solve the adoption problem—because that problem is a function of the wrong use case (microblogging), not the protocol itself.
