Further thought: it would make sense in a new tor network, not an established one.
But the context you've given is similar to the argument that *coins have value because of the electricity costs required for their creation. Unless I can trade those coins for units of energy, those coins are not a store of the value of their energy cost.
Similarly, unless I can trade these coins for access to higher bandwidth on tor (and/or if the lack of them denies me access to tor ), they hold no value to anyone except as a speculation vehicle (as any other coin of the day).
