Probably the easiest solution if you're dead set on using WordPress solely is to use a plugin like MyCred to give users "points" and change the name to Bitcoin. Then set the features of MyCred to give points for certain actions - logging in, viewing posts, etc. You'll want to set MyCred to 8 decimal places.
You'll need to allow anyone to register and provide them with an account page. The problem with this though, and basically any points system on Wordpress is a lack of withdraw features...there's plenty of Bitcoin deposit plugins for buying items, but sending money, let alone Bitcoin, is basically non existent except for some PayPal ApI withdraw features for affiliate plugins or vendor shop plugins that require paying commissions. Of course, anything can be coded to do anything if you have the knowledge, so maybe those plugins would be a good starting point.
As it is, if you wanted to allow users to Withdraw points, yoh would either need to custom code a withdraw feature that allow them to Withdraw X points to their Bitcoin account or implement manual payouts my manually sending the coins and manually altering their account balance. This would be tedious and errors would be possible. You might be able to implement Woocommerce o to allow users to "buy" fixed withdraw products or use Contact Form 7 integration to Withdraw account balances when they submit a withdraw form, but even then its be time consuming to manually process payouts.
Lastly, you will probably want to use some sort of login encryption software, captch plugins, etc to make Word press more secure.
WordPress can be powerful, albeit slow in comparison to cusom code or other CMS systems like Drupal, but it's also probably not as secure and private "out of the box" as the bitcoin community would like. Last I knew and I may be wrong, but without Encryption login plugins or SSL, WordPress login is still plaintext and can be sniffed - I think...
All that said, you're Probably much better off building off a stand alone faucet script as a starting point. There's no reason that your blog can't be installed to a separate directory on your hostinghosting unless of course, the hosting has disallowed additional MySQL databases, subdomains or director is that make that impossible.
