When you discover that some payments are actually intended to extract your identity and not your money.

quoting nevent1q…9gsq

Here’s the series of events that led me to Nostr, in chronological order:

- tried to pay for X's blue checkmark but was unable to do so without linking my bank account, instead of paying with a card.

- read the terms of connecting my bank account and realized I would have to agree to share my account number, routing number, interest rate, recent transaction history, etc. No way I was agreeing to that, so I closed the tab.

- opened a YT tab to watch some random videos, and a conversation between ODELL (npub1qny…95gx) and jack (npub1sg6…f63m) at Nostriga popped up on my feed.

i had never heard of Nostr before clicking on that video. It took me all of two minutes to go from typing the name 'Nostr' into my browser to opening an account.
