What problem does that even solve?

A little cashback for energy bills.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In the form of “grid tokens”? Which I can then exchange for money.

Not exactly cashback.

What makes it cashback for you? If it comes in the form of dollar banknotes or what? Why does the currency matter as long as you can exchange it? I honestly think youre more into staying your ground than to discuss anything (dont want to sound too offensive and i would love learn new things about pros/cons of decentralized currency/fiat, i didnt form any opinion about that and dont understand too much about that to be fair)
