Bitcoin came along and offered a new way to create a money supply, based on currency going to whoever has bigger and more powerful specialized computers, technical knowledge, and ability to afford lots of electricity to mine BTC. It took the power away from the banking system, which was an improvement, but it still does not incentivize anything good in the world.

SolarCoin is a currency that is distributed as a reward for doing something that benefits the planet: generating clean renewable solar energy. We plan to put the reserve currency under smart contract so that the granting process can be automated. Before that happens, it is being held securely by the people who launched this project.

This gives me chills to read! Well said, freebird. And this is why I believe Solarcoin has the potential to even overtake Bitcoin. I've been an SLR believer since January, and have found no other coin that even remotely compares. I am 100% invested in the future of this coin.

Overtaking Bitcoin would create a lot of millionaires on this board... Myself included... Grin

That being said, I'm not sure about SLR overtaking Bitcoin. SLR is in a category of it's own... It does have the potential to literally change the world as we know it, but in a different way from Bitcoin. In terms of value, SLR has some major major potential. Especially if true value comes to fruition in which 1 SLR truly meets 1 MW...
