Bitcoin and the Power Grid: How Blockchain Might Save Us From Blackouts (Or Make It Worse)

Enter blockchain—think of it as the shiniest new social network for your electricity, where everyone’s incentives are aligned, and no one can cheat without everyone noticing.

It’s already synced with the XRP Ledger, which makes you wonder, did Schwartz get bored and just decide to do a DIY project? Or maybe he needed a hobby that doesn’t involve emails and meetings.
