What would be the Npub of a boyband?

Would it not make sense, if the things published under the boy-band's name, be signed by all the individual members of the boy-band? Ignore that they will probably have a PR crew, this is a grassroots upstart boy-band signing their own things and singing about uptown girls.

On may 15, Fiatjaf published a video with a demo of using MuSig2.

The use of this, is to publish under a new npub while signing with more than one person. Something we did today:

There are no standards for this stuff yet, so if you are so inclined to verify this for yourself:

In the json of the event you can see two pubkeys mentioned in the tags. Use nak and run:

nak key combine 5ea4648045bb1ff222655ddd36e6dceddc43590c26090c486bef38ef450da5bd 3bf0c63fcb93463407af97a5e5ee64fa883d107ef9e558472c4eb9aaaefa459d

To see that the pubkey of our goliath coming online is in that list you just produced.

Maybe these signing singers, will sing about signing next.

SEC could co-sign Musk’s notes? 😉

It’s a super slick & convenient ecosystem. I know I’ll have to vacate at some point and I’m semi prepared for that. But in the meantime it’s very nice getting the kids to bed, retreating to the couch with wife to watch something on Apple TV and hook up our AirPods so kids don’t wake up.

I had to cease comms with my closest cousin, we used to play in a band together in high school and while residing in different countries communicated regularly. COVID brought out his feeble mindset. I’d send him underlying data from government health orgs to show it wasn’t as bad as it was being made out to be, and he’d respond with some MSM opinion piece. Tried to keep it civil for a while by avoiding the topic but would somehow always end up there, so had to cease & desist.

This new paper is a true declaration of war: the ECB claims that early #bitcoin adopters steal economic value from latecomers. I strongly believe authorities will use this luddite argument to enact harsh taxes or bans. Check 🧵 for why:

Rather than praising bitcoin as a tech paradigm shift à la petroleum and the internet, the authors introduce the blatantly luddite argument that "early adopters" ... "increase their real wealth and consumption" ... "at the expense of [latecomers]".

Then they go on to brazenly advocate for legislation ... "to prevent bitcoin prices from rising or to see bitcoin disappear altogether" in order to prevent "the division of society".

The authors also model some projections, to illustrate the paltry amount of BTC that will remain available for latecomers. (Woe is me! Conspicuously left out is the reason that has driven 15 years of bitcoin adoption & development: it's simply better tech.)

In all the years I've been monitoring the bitcoin space, this is by far the most aggressive paper to come from authorities. The gloves are off. It's clear that these central bank economists now see bitcoin as an existential threat, to be attacked with any means possible.

Many of us have warned that this was coming: bitcoin as a major political fault line both in national and international elections. Well here it is. It means that us HODLers must take action to insure that governments respect our basic right to hold property.

And no, this won't be a war between haves and have-nots. Rather this will be a historic clash between those who stand for the natural rights of the individual, and those who clutch at the failed ideologies of collectivism and central planning.

Here's the download link to the paper: "The distributional consequences of Bitcoin". (We need detailed rebuttals. Who's writing one?)

Haven’t read the paper yet, just basing on the post, but with this logic any form of speculative investment (that is successful I suppose) should be legislated against?

This is a highly underrated group of musicians from Canada, many bands I’m a fan of. This is from one of their bands called #Possum and album Space Grade Assembly released in 2019.
