And apps will allow writers and photographers to quickly and cheaply register their keystrokes and pixels on the BTClockchain.

I liked everything you said, but this point I think is going to prove problematic for artists and creative types. It just sounds like a really expensive (and unprofitable) way to prop up an untenable concept: intellectual property. I can say "time machine" or "unicorn", but they don't exist, and neither does intellectual property (since about 1993, anyway). These people will quickly realise that coming up with a workable model for selling their skills is what's needed, not clinging onto a paradigm that was only possible for a short ~75 year period. Some already are, crowdfunding, giveaways at live performances etc.
