This electric price thing is purely FUD. This is people who opted for the "cheaper" electric price and chose a variable rate vs fixed. Through Snow-magedon and this past summer my prices have barely fluctuated because I opted for a "higher" fixed rate. I've got the electric "receipts" to prove it.

Similar to mortage rates, retail customers in Texas choose between fixed or variable rate plans themselves, ERCOT doesn't force anyone to pay spot prices. That being said, I would never choose variable rates myself with today's unreliable generation fleet.

It's not up and running fully yet but Podfans should have a budgeting/auto boost feature in the near future. I'll keep you informed when it's live 😎

thanks for the insight as always! on the topic of countys using BTC but limiting citizens for having access. I feel like we need a BTC backed CBDC on our bingo card of the current world financial dumpster fire. would in the surface give uneducated users the access to long time saving of BTC but on the backend the government will have all the controls it could ever want... that might be a part of the darkest timeline...
