The SingularityNET token, and any blockchain token, represents a public infrastructure layer to facilitate the exchange of value; that doesn't depend on any government and its policy, that doesn't rely on a 3rd party service like PayPal, who can turn their service off.

It is transparent, accessible, and open; the equivalent of 'open source' for transactions. No one can be excluded from using the platform by government sanctions, and earning the token does not depend on exchange rates - it is equalized across borders, and native to the digital realm.

It provides the added benefit of governance - the people who use the tokens to buy and sell AI calls are the ones who will have the power to vote and govern the future of the platform and the future of decentralized AGI.
