I'd like to hear your argument for it.

I think the "stock split" aspect could have a significant, positive psychological impact on adoption. Most people can't save 1 BTC easily.

I think it could also cause confusion, transaction errors, and disrupt the 21M narrative.

I think both sides of the argument have merit.

Sir, I wrote BIP177.

My opinion is fully specified!

Lol. I'll go read it...

I just read your Medium article, since I'm in the dummy demographic.

All the arguments are strong and I think this article "wins the debate"

The biggest benefits, IMO, are:

> Picture walking into a café and seeing one of these on the bill:

0.0000123 BTC … or … ₿ 1230

> Many people have unit bias or feel Bitcoin is “too expensive” due to misunderstanding.

Combined, these could significantly increase P2P payments adoption.

Ultimately, as I'm sure you've already realized, the "standard" will be set by the builders in their UIs, not via social media arguments and consensus.
