What's your opinion on BIP 177? I'm of the opinion that long decimal numbers are cumbersome and I like the proposal, in fact I'm already using sats as the base unit in my newer projects.

With BIP-177, โ€œbitcoinโ€ would be the base unit not โ€œsatsโ€

ah, got it! Your note makes way more sense now ๐Ÿ˜‰

This is a solution to a problem that does not exist.

"Dollars & cents"

"Bitcoin & sats"

Feels like this contradicts the 21 million mnemonic thatโ€™s ingrained in Bitcoins DNA.

This seems to cause even more confusion for the average pre-coiner that might have just gotten the 21M hardcap and is now pushed towards thinking about potential supply dilution.
