I was and am team sats. I wish it would work.
But honestly after our team building a UI for people actually paying for things, and having non-Bitcoiners stumble over “wtf is a sat even” every. single. time. I threw my hands up and regretfully side with this B thing.
We’re still gonna use sats in a sneaky location where it makes sense (merchant services). But you can’t force an entire cohort of people to just “get it”. You tweak this one stupid B thing and it gets people using it plus they stop with the “I’ll never be able to buy a bitcoin so what’s the point?” bullshit. And it doesn’t change the underlying tech whatsoever.
So you get to the point where you’re like “fuck it everyone’s stupid”- and just ship it.
Satoshi would be happy more people are using it as money and not give a fuck about his nym anyway.
