 How would you know if the musig isn't all the same person? In btc now there is fedimint where it's custodial musltisig and the purpose is to build trust based communities of this federations, if you are going to have to always put trust better be with people you already know and trust.  
 Fair point. Sybil multisigs. Ideally there’d be an on-chain reputation system with longevity and successful transaction history. But that starts getting fairly complex. 
 What you’re trying to envision is what the spiderchain is doing. Botanix Labs is building this. 
Eg decentralized multisigs where >10.000 nodes can participate in. 
 And pay thousands of dollars for the privilege to run a node. Don't forget that part... 
 Bitcoin on it’s base layer should be capable of being run by every person in the world. 
That doesn’t make sense for Layer 2s 
 Yes. For txs lightning, self custody or not, is probably still the best option, there is also Liquid and Ark is being developed, so there will be many options and all connected by lightning. Each person can choose the best option, in many countries using something centralized like Strike or cash app for lightning is probably fine, in countries were people can't access these serviced they can use other options, Liquid, Fedimint or a wallet like Phoenix or Zeus as an example.  
 and Hedgehog! @supertestnet is working on that one 
 using nostr keys (ideally with a keychain and rotation system, which is under heavy discussion recently) would make this kind of verification a lot easier

or even if just for the signatories to use their nost identities to sign events containing the keys they will use, and the relevant UTXO that will be spent 
 disagree.  build it on a zero trust network.
