Somewhat of a long shot, but if we could achieve it would be great for adoption:

Reminds me of
I've changed my mind, nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgjwaehxw309akkjumnddjhjtnpwf6z7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wgknqvfw09skk6tgdahxuefwvdhk6tcpz3mhxue69uhh2uewdehhxarj9ekxzmny9uq3xamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvhsqgxrtluvxszynuxk3tc6a3yyfw6y48qt3swafax5a77xtcfq8x353guaf8v8. If we keep embracing "satoshis" as a unit we will effectively throw away the "bitcoin" name since no one will transact in "bitcoins" ever.
And, as nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaejuum0vd5kzmp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7qpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63qave884 once said, bitcoin is a great brand (https://x.com/jack/status/1092920168060088320 for reference).
1 dollar is 100 cents, it’s the same thing
Is this still a thing? Sats are the standard my dude
The .mediawiki at the end made me misread BIP as NIP and get my hopes up for a nostr mediawiki fork
Very much agreed. Never underestimate the value of people having heard of something.
What happens when 8 decimal places is not enough and bitcoin moves to 16? Will the definition of Bitcoin be moved again and again?
That is one purpose of the BIP, to force people to learn that Bitcoin is not actually divisible and we cannot add more decimals places because it uses whole integers.
Its currently hardcodes to simulate 8 decimal places using integers. Wouldnt be hard to increase that to 11 or 16.
I'll PR this to microsats

I thought 1 bitcoin always equals 1 bitcoin?
yea, it would be a major ux improvement
I can already hear the midwit chorus: 'Then it wasn’t a fixed number of 21 million—they produced more!'
Agree that satoshis should be renamed bitcoin.
Think of it like a 100 million for 1 stock split.
Nah, leave bitcoins alone ...

Hope this happens. Better now than later
