Hang on. You think the power company only asks for $0.10 after you use $1 worth of power that month?

My mistake, I'm a moron. The math is just worse, because you'd have to cash out some of your FAKECOIN for electricity. I'll accept the downvotes with dignity!

You'd have to cash out all of your FAKECOIN for electricity and still be out $0.10, with no FAKECOIN left.
