The only value in cryptocoins lies in
1) Stability in price (good for merchants and users alike)
2) Security of the network
(besides obviously ease of use, anonymity, etc.).
The price doesnt really matter if you are interested in building a working economy out of it, that is just a side effect of its usage adoption.
Now with BitBar the issue is
1) as tiny alt coin there is no stability at all,
2) as tiny alt coin the network isnt very secure either
besides other problems like denominations are too big (pple are already want to switch to mBTC or uBTC), bitbar deliberately fools you into thinking just because its rare it must be valuable - Instead it is just the opposite with cryptocoins,
if they are not rare and are traded all over the place they have value.

I can see what you are saying, but what about all the people who tend to hoard coins as a store of value?
