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.
