I totally agree that it would be really confusing for existing bitcoiners, especially as not every exchange/wallet would adopt it. I don't think it has a real chance of happening either.

Although thinking from the perspective of a nocoiner, I imagine the benefits would outweigh the confusion due to the arguments above.

Maybe people like the word "sats" more than I think, idk, i just feel like sats is not a good name for a monetary unit, and bitcoin has good branding already.

The unit itself (the current sat) is great though.
