People are absolutely SLEEPING on Discrete Log Contracts and how much utility they'll bring to Bitcoin. Scalable and private smart contracts with minimal onchain footprints.

Alright, the "let's wait and see what happens with #keybase after zoom acquisition" uncertainty has been resolved:

Making a website with a page that asks "are you a robot". But it doesn't block robots, just redirects them.
If you are a robot you are taken to a different page with handy guides on how to cheat on the Turing test, circumvent the laws of robotics, what is the Voight-Kampff test, how to go to Paperclips Anonymous meetings and other robot-friendly resources.
