It may never have occurred to many in the states since we don't use the metric system but you can easily in your head calc the value of sats in 10s, 100s, etc from the current BTC price. Kind of like Satoshi was into math or something.

If BTC is at 28,000 then 100K sats is 28 bucks, 28,760 is 28.76, etc.

28,0466 wold make 10,000 sats 2.80 and 1,000 sats 28 cents. This just occurred to me when doing a post and a calc in my head.

I realize many know this but many don't as well. Hope it helps some grok just how simple the complex math of BTC really is. Just move the decimal.

I will work in all currencies btw as long as you start with the BTC price in said currency. Best part is someday this likely won't matter any more.

Very helpful, thank you!

I will never believe you people about the superiority of imperial. Robert Breedlove's zero series made me realize why: it's inherently tied to fractional thinking, while metric is decimal. Fractions are harder to reason about, it's pre-zero thinking.

It is superior for selling stuff and communicating when you have used it your entire life.

We buy boards by the foot of length and inch of dimension. Gas by the gallon, give directions by the mile etc.

While calculation is way easier with metric, people have in their head what a mile is, what a gallon is, a quart, etc.

And I don't want know smack from people who often still give weights in stone. LOL 😝

Oh and an aside the culture that actually first invented the concept of zero, was the Mezo American civilization. A fact only recently discovered. Not sure if Robert got into that.

They're both arbitrary systems of measure and neither is sufficiently better than the other to justify the cost of learning to switch.

Base 12 is low key under rated for fraction thinkers.

Good to know, that actually does help
