This is kind of the unvoiced point of my mushing, or maybe a follow up 🤭🤔. Note how f.e. events are willing to take a cut on the price of a ticket when paid in Sats. If on average there is a 7.5% cut compared to the fiat price (often see 10, but I don't want to exaggerate). This means those buyers, or seller of service/goods for Sats (in our example the organizer of Bitcoiner event) want to offer a premium to get your precious Sats.

With my hypothetically averaging 7.5 % cut, this would mean there is a premium of 7.5% on your Sats. Knowing that some P2P buyers complain about 5% premium, they should be happy now knowing that it is possible to have offers that are in comparison 2.5% cheaper 🤭. (True the venue plays market maker, and any of these buy offers might get taken fast on f.e. HodlHodl)

What both (sats for goods or P2P sats for fiat) don't do is influence the measurement of value 🤔.

Even more, both are most often still based on the broken measuring stick of fiat value. A calculation > how much is that in USD/BTC terms and how does that compare to the current "BTC price" - and in case of sats for (common) goods also : how much is that compared to the fiat price.

In other words, we are not ready for 'a Sat standard' and I am not even talking about 'normies', I am talking about 'we' as Sat stacking MF'ers 😁

Again this is not a call to do any change or action 🤭 just pondering on the 'what do we have now'.

The best trade is between global scarcity and local scarcity. As you do at meetups: bring a good that is locally scarce ( can be even globally scarce, but doesn't have to be🤷🏻‍♂️ ) and trade it for something globally scarce (Sats ofc.) Since then the fiat price of those sats become less relevant, and turns rather in the personal economics of : "do I want/need this good more than I want/need these sats. "

Which should be the true measuring stick of your Sats' value right?
