Will Hubdub create some way to trade or make real $ with H$ by end of 2009?

Settled as No

Background: Under the help section:

"2. What can I do with them?

You stake Hubdub dollars on your predicted answers to our news questions, win more if you're right and lose what you staked if you're wrong. The more Hubdub dollars you have, the better Hubdubber you are (shown by your star and level) and the higher on the leaderboards you climb. Remember, once you've staked dollars on a prediction its value can increase and decrease over time (a bit like a stock on the stock market) so it's up to you to carefully manage your portfolio of predictions to make sure that you get the best return. For the moment it's only virtual money so unfortunately you can't trade Hubdub dollars for real cash. "

Does this mean H$ can be turned into real $ by the end of 2009?

H$ must be able to be turned into real money - no offers, free trials, etc.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
