It also meant that more people would have an incentive to buy or build a hotspot for the Helium network, because there was now more demand for such a network. For me, it meant that suddenly my Hotspot would get more pings, earning me more tokens.
Their system is set up to pay you in US dollars every two weeks, (but they are switching to weekly soon) And they have a debit card where you will be able to convert your Tokens to cash.

That way if a company wanted to connect a smoke detector to the internet, it could afford to do so in a manner that wouldn’t make the device cost-prohibitive, or require the manufacturer of the smoke detector to create a subscription plan simply to pay for data. The cellular industry is trying to build a low-cost network for IoT on traditional licensed spectrum called NB-IoT. Other companies, such as Sigfox and Senet, are also trying to build low-power IoT networks from scratch.

This has changed a lot, if your hotspot can witness any other hotspot you should make OK money. I picked a random one on a map, it only witnessed two hotspots and make 34.32 HNT pcm. I would have moaned about that back in December but that 34.32 HNT is worth just shy of £400 per month, providing a return on investment within 1 month.
No one was more surprised than the miners themselves. By the end of 2017, even with the rapidly rising difficulty, the per-bitcoin cost for basin miners was around $2,000, producing profit margins similar to those of the early years, only on a vastly larger scale. Marc Bevand, a French-born computer scientist who briefly mined in the basin and is now a tech investor, estimates that, by December, a hypothetical investor who had built a 5-megawatt mine in the basin just four months earlier would’ve recovered the $7 million investment and would now be clearing $140,000 in profit every 24 hours. “Nowadays,” he told me back in December, miners “are literally swimming in cash.”

When a Chinese solar manufacturer that had been traded in New York for a decade held an initial public offering last month on Shanghai’s Star Board, it priced the shares at about a 9.6% premium to their U.S. counterparts. Hybrid Work, London Dating, South Korea’s Rate Hike: Eco Day

As to Helium value and use. This is still a bit of a grey area for me but this is my understanding. The companies that use the IOT will pay for the data transmitted with tokens.
Why does the Hotspot need my Wi-Fi Network?Will the Hotspot affect my internet quality and bandwidth?
The Linxdot Hotspot is currently available for pre-order. Shipping estimates are given on an order basis and it will be mentioned during checkout and in the order confirmation email. How big of an area does the Linxdot Hotspot cover?
Helium hotspots transfer small packets of data from sensors on enabled Internet of Things devices via a peer-to-peer wireless network. Hotspots use your existing internet connection to broadcast radio signals.
Last month, I finally got into the crypto craze. I was dragged into it thanks to my readers along with a large number of commenters on my Helium hotspot post from 11 months ago. It turns out the Helium hotspot that has sat on my windowsill for a little more than a year helpfully providing a LoRa network to anyone within range has also been mining Helium Network Tokens (HNT), which are now worth real money.
And yes they are free. You are not really mining Helium but are being paid in Helium coin for any data that passes through your hotspot. That is why there is also a 1000 meter supposed distance between awarded hotspot areas.
