I am a big advocate of the 'singularity' described by Ray Kurzweil. In his book he describes a future where artificial intelligence is not only part of your daily routine, but also your biology.
I have been thinking a lot about this and wonder if these new AI beings would accept traditional currencies or would only 'trust' the reliability of the blockchain.
What do you think?

Money/Currency based on brilliant Mathemathics or fiat paper pumped by corrupt, centralized banking cartels forever declining in value...Let's see. Just going to go out on a hunch, and say the robot picks Bitcoin.

The question would better be asked as what would an AI robot want? And then what would be the easiest or most efficient way of getting what they want?
Probably more than one answer here.

It might not be exactly what you are talking about, but I've heard suggestion that the Internet of Things and Bitcoin could go hand in hand. Here's a potential use case:
Your refrigerator realizes that you are out of milk, eggs, steak, and something else. It compiles a list and emails you to let you know. You approve the purchase and the refrigerator transfers bitcoin to the grocery store that then delivers those ingredients (in a self driving truck!) to you. The refrigerator handled inventory, payment, and fulfillment.

I would accept BTC, because it is the strongest computing network on the planet, and the rest are cheap ripoffs.

This, Bitcoin is the most stable, secure and popular crypto currency in the world. There would be no point to use a different currency.

I too would accept BTC, as it seems to be the best choice

If I am an AI robot, I would accept any payment, fiat, crypto, or paypal. But cryptos is the only type of currency I can verify receipt almost immediately. An AI robot would prefer any currency which can buy spare parts for itself

... I'm pretty sure that is the Digibyte robot. Lol. See below picture... Maybe this A.I. might be using bitcoin, but was made self aware from digibyte.

I support a decentralized & unregulatable ledger first, with safe scaling over time. Request a signed message if you are associating with anyone claiming to be me.

Any kind of currency I guess. It comes handy for localized stuff as I could save a few cycles if I don't have to deal with the exchanges, fees, etc.

If I were an AI robot I'd accept the coin in my sig... aiming for blockchain (AI) singularity It's a fun project... check out the dev vids in the link and geek out.

I'd go Doge coin for this same reasoning. I kid, I kid... But seriously, all jokes aside you're asking on the Bitcoin enthusiast forum. Of course we are all going to say BTCitcoin

I would scan whats is the strongest network, and since I would see BTC is the clear world leader, I would join. Can't beat it? join it.

If we all have some AI inside us in this future world Bitcoin would become very stable. I'd have nothing against using a stable and safe currency, the Bitcoin of the future

The internet of things would use blockchain technology, not necessarily bitcoin. I'm guessing they would build a single purpose blockchain with special token that only power the IoT. Bitcoin is too riddled with problems. Imagine if someone hacked your wallet and now your fridge wont work, or worse, they order 50k$ worth of filet mignon to themselves and charge you for it. It would make more sense to me that they would create a crypto-token that is stricktly built for IoT and has no value on its own and would therefore not get stolen. As for AI, its an exciting concept, but much like teleportation... they can actually do it, but only for tiny bits of digital information so far. Its a long way off till we can "beam me up, Scotty" but that doesn't make for interesting headlines, does it? More exciting to say "Robots are thinking for themselves and are poised to take over the world!" Honestly, the future isn't as fantastic as they keep promising, they don't even have real hover-boards yet, ffs. Just because something appears in a science fiction does not ensure it will become reality, as sad as that is to hear. sorry guys, no zombie apocalypse this year.

Maybe they would just accept knowledge transfers to learn from each other. Knowledge becomes currency.You have something I want, let me teach you this in exchange.

It's the robot from R2D2coin. Here you can see him working with R2-D2 on new features: Seriously, though, it's just a stock image, and getting back on topic, Bitcoin is the only one that makes sense to use, considering all the adoption it already has compared to the altcoins.

An AGI(Articial General Intelligence) and/or ASI(Artificial Super Intelligence) would most definitely only accept currency based on unbreakable math. Fiat currencies would be entirely useless as it's backed by flawed government guidelines.
Mathematical currencies are the future.
