I like bits too. That it references bitcoin itself is a huge plus for new people. nostr:note1tjzuyl8jtt783kvngwjz6rf4zgx4pl8558ywc707grhe4dxppmxs6xmgfx

Bits was horrible and died a good death.

There is a place for bits and sats!

I like it

Never had a sat stuck in between my teeth

Yeah, but is also a “bit” confusing to new users—as in bits and bytes.

You mean nerds?

Yes

1 bit is 100 sats. Like a dollar.

Yay!! You’re right back on track. Stay here.⚔️☀️🍭🫦🦁🫂💜🧡

Same. I've always liked bits. It's flows better and it makes sense as it's a word we already use to describe both digital and physical items that are small or a faction of something larger. What the hell is a sat? A day of the week? 🤣 I'll use whatever we have consensus with though.

What happens when a Satoshi is worth a dollar? Your Money \ 21 million aka 500 trillion \ 21 million..🙂

Too bad it's been used as money already

Shave and a haircut... two bits.

When’s the last time you heard anyone use “two bits” to refer to 25 cents, who wasn’t having a convo with a cartoon rabbit?

Tis a fair trial

Sats can be just as easy to new people too

I guess everyone is capable of a bad take Jack

Ppl I talk to still get confused, thinking Sats are some other crypto “like” Bitcoin. Bits would be waaaay easier to explain.

yep

Open protocol welcomes all. That said, #satsthestandard

Bits should be 1/10 of a sat, then we'd have normal decimal notation for 1 Bitcoin divided into 1 billion bits = 1.000,000,000

☀️💋🫂💜

Are you saying 1,000,000.00 bits in a Bitcoin as in 100 sats = 1 bit

Or 1,000,000 bits instead of sats

Seems Bits support is starting to reach critical mass and with the large number of people pointing out why it will win, perhaps it makes sense to have a bits maxi coming out day?

Soon, dare I say, there will be... 100 supporters. 😅

i thought you didn't like me flirting with your bits while you were at "work" dorsey. just a little, bit, huh?... 😏fine fine. wiggle wiggle.

have a nice day. ☀️

Hey, I created a simple java client for interacting with mempool.space (or your own instance). It isn’t finished yet but it’s working for almost all of the endpoints at this point (a couple of lightning endpoints yet to be done). Use it however you please: https://github.com/jtechx/mempool4j

It’s never going to happen

bb or BBs as a $1 denomination, short for baby bitcoin, replaces sats and bits

Could you please have Cash App add it as an option? That may coax others into doing the same.

1 bit = 100 sats

1 $€ = 100 cents

i won't be using bits any time soon tho, just sats.

have fun explaining bits😋

I'm saving all my love for sats... 🧡

...but something like "₿its" or "₿-bits" could deserve a chance 👀

(just my two sats 😉)

Unfollowed, unzapped

Why are people still trying to make it bits vs sats when both are valid units. No one made it pennies vs dollars. Both are used.

1 BTC = 1,000,000 bits

1 BTC = 100,000,000 sats

The internet gave us the “at” symbol. #Bitcoin will give us the “sat” symbol.

1 bit will hit $1 first. 1 sat will always be smaller.

1 dollar = 100 pennies

1 bit = 100 sats

the sat-symbol looks kinda sexy 😏

And of course the #Zap symbol is the lightning bolt⚡️

True, I'm good with whatever people think is best..🙂

mBTC ftw

Unless bits is represented as just ones and zeros, people will say, wait I just understood what bits and bytes are.

Stop trying to make bits happen

1 bit = 100 sats

456 sats = 4.56bits

@note1rdcsujmkwxt7gwu657q8m47vqu4cmvvv4pe8v8wzs6p6c3wxzkts0euy35

who else learned the hard way to read BTC decimal places as a pair of 4 digit numbers: 0000 0000?

don't mess with it. it took me a lot time to get used to counting in sats.

Some nerd will start charging people in bytes.

Blood coin'S coming soon...

I like Bits, it's Bitcoin not Sat or Natcoin. Bits/Bytes/Words makes sense. Plus for the old people, it used to be 2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a dollar (i.e. US Quarter.) Telling people how Bitcoin breaks down in to 'Sats' or 'Satoshis' makes me feel like I am 12, playing make believe on the planet Whacky Crackers. Normies understand Bits.
