Most people don’t understand cryptocurrency, and don’t want anything to do with it because of its association with scams
This is exactly why I won’t touch Nostr or any blockchain project with a ten foot pole. The crypto Bros are really trying to legitimise the technology so one day they can use the Monopoly money they stashed away.
I’m sad that this connection is only mentioned in a third level comment, potential users should be aware what they’re getting into with Nostr.
