PubKey is an abbreviation for "public key", a part of the encryption method that makes bitcoin possible. Pub is also an abbreviation for "public house", another word for a tavern. We see taverns and pubs as the places throughout history where revolutions have been started. We're less than 3 miles away from Fraunces Tavern, one of the most important taverns of the Revolutionary War. We're also within walking distance of places where other types of revolutions took place, including The Back Room, Caffe Reggio, CBGB, and the Stonewall Inn. We see PubKey as a continuation of the same counterculture spirit in our era.
