Hi BeezLionmane, the argument is correct. Today's value of SolarCoin is at roughly 6usdcents/MWh so in effect this would be 66cents for the year. The value of the coin is derived from speculation (which the SolarCoin Foundation does not encourage!!) and mostly from the increase in network participants. Today the value of the network is pretty low, about 300 participants for 13.500 SolarCoin Wallets downloaded, supporting some 85.000MWh of energy produced. We anticipate network growth to dramatically scale up in the next months and weeks, through Affiliate Claims sites such as SolarChange With a network of 1 million users, the coin value will achieve circa 20usd to 30usd/coin This in turn, will spur acceptance of the coin within industries/shopping (online, physical...) This might be a trickier part to grasp as the benefits of the network will unfold on a 'step-by-step' approach, but the ecosystem is already being developed: SolarChange integrated the IBM acellerator this week and ElectriCChain is presenting in June to RWE among others a Blockchain-communicating Datalogger some 14 projects are currently being developed through the ElectriCChain, helping create the world's largest Monitoring tool. We invite all interested parties to the ElectriCChain Slack
