Said it before, and I will say it again.

Language separated by wealth

Normal people will ‘have bitcoin’ and use it as the plural for sats (or w/e you want to call them)

A bitcoin or bitcoins, with the ‘A’ or ‘S’, will reference whole coin(s/ers) denoting wealth

1 bitcoin = 1 satoshi

As much as I don’t like the sound of that, that is where the logic leads.

Perhaps the distinction will show between ‘one’ and ‘a’

1 bitcoin = 1 sat

A bitcoin = 100000000 sats

Language gets weird, sometimes.

When bitcoin goes to the moon, 10^8 ceases to be a useful denomination of currency

That’s why the ‘a’ or ‘s’ for singular/plural will stick around for the wealthy, might even see the ‘s’ on the singular instead of retaining the ‘a’:

.01 bitcoins = 1000000 sats

2 bitcoins = 200000000 sats

While everyone else uses bitcoin for singular and plural:

1 bitcoin = 1 sat

25000 bitcoin = 25000 sats
