Bitcoin is money… money is also a language. And if we’re trying to teach that language to the world, it has to be really, really easy. Not because people are stupid but bc learning a language is not easy. The more friction there is...decimal gymnastics, sats, jargon...the fewer people will speak it. That’s why people are moving toward treating bitcoin as pluralia tantum like bison or deer. Below 1? Just say bitcoin. And maybe the tradeoff is for whole coins or more, as dumb as it sounds, maybe bitcoins still has a place when you’re referring to discrete objects and would still be grammatically valid and arguably necessary for clarity. But mostly, it's bitcoin… no matter the amount. The language we use to teach the language shapes adoption and if we make it smooth and intuitive it will stick. But sats does kinda rhyme with cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
