Ah yes, the CAPTCHA argument. We've talked about this before. This will definitely be a thing eventually.

The world needs to be shown that out pilot app (blogging) is actually pretty boring and useless compared to the other stuff we can build.

That may be true, however being able to decern oneself from a bot could have many practicle applications beyond blogging.

Yeah, my version of it would be used to validate human players in gaming. The economies of video games always get subverted by bots. The CAPTCHA idea could make it quite difficult for bots the enter the space and cheat the economy. Combine that with the fact that there is no centralized entity leeching the game and I think blockchain can make some very special games that pay players to develop and simply to acquire resources within the constructs of the game itself.
