About the issue of allowing conversion of real $$ into AGI Tokens (or hugs or whatever you want to call them) ....

I do understand there is greater legal/regulatory risk in doing it this way=..

On the other hand, I don't see any other way to make the thing really grow to exceed Google, FB etc. in size (or even become self-supporting)...

Even Second Life allowed conversion of their internal lindedn Dollars to and from USD ...

Basically, we need real-world users who need Al services for their businesses to outsource their work to Agents in the SingularityNET

and these real-world businesses have their assets in fiat currency... so what else can ya do?

The exchange can be done in the familiar crypto exchanges, or whatever these are morphed into once the next regulatory changes occur.., we don't need to become moneychangers ourselves... but the world needs to have ways to turn fiat back and forth into AGI tokens...

Eventually maybe not, if the AGI economy overtakes the normal-world economy. But for the AGI parasite to overcome to regular-human-economy host (so it can grow to be more than a parasite and eventually gain its own superhuman autonomy) it first needs to suck off the resources of the host, and these resources are now mainly expressed in fiat currency...
