 if Farmer John Apple can take the name Apple, so does a bot. And if it's possible with one, it's possible with all names.

 I’m interested in thinking about ways of using digital scarcity (that we already have present in bitcoin) to prevent bots from taking all available names, while allowing Farmer John Apple to express their interest/demand for that specific name because of its relevance to their business.
