Nice. So much better with a symbol than with 4 stock-market-tickerish letters.

₿ is the symbol. Sats is the term.

$0.50

Say this amount out loud.

This.

"Curtis Jackson"

🤣

The renaming of sats is getting really out of hand now. Pay me in rappers

Now if only we moved the decimal right one to have 10^9 sats per btc for a nice metric prefix of 1 gigasat = 1 btc.

21M btc and 21 quadrillion sats. Everyone remembers 21.

2.1 quadrillion is meh.

yeah, i thought the same about 2.1

it was such low hanging fruit!

fkn satoshi

We are all satoshi. We can change it if we want.

One benefit of 2.1 quadrillion is you can open a VC fund and call it Point One Ventures and be all proud of your little reference.

Yes

Some people’s brains can’t handle this

475 sats.

Five hundred millisats

🤔

It is still sats, though.

wdym?

Sats is such a common term on wallets that we don't even need to display it anymore. BIP-177 could have been just that. None of the base unit redefinition business. They are still sats. We just don't need to say it on screen.

🤝 for me they always will be

Jail.

Sats font character idea. 🪙 -> o (reasoning, every font has already an O so that the new character can be added in a matching way)

What really confuses people is Americans using commas as thousands separator and not using the metric system

Americans should be excluded from the debate about the right unit format for Bitcoin

Should we price bitcoin in Oreo cookies to make it easier for them?

Just think of the adoption it would create!

I heard the Big Mac is a good measurement stick

Nothing wrong with using commas. Using decimal pints is far more confusing.

1.010 is a little over 1 but some see it as 1010?!

1,010 makes far more sense to me.

*points

Decimal points are for denomination the break between whole internet and fractions of a unit. Commas are to make reading large numbers easier.

Any other use is incorrect

There are only: Twenty one hundred trillion bitcoins

lame and confusing but everyone has the freedom to be retarded

correct

Can you at least put ₿S?

I’ll allow it

retarted take:

put the ₿ before when talking in the sense of 21m ₿itcoin: ₿6.15

put the ₿ after when talking in the sense of 21q satoshis: 615,000,000₿

$1

100c

🤷‍♂️

I agree! Optionality is the way! (I don't like bip 177)

Noooooooo lolz

that's the best way.

🤦‍♂️🤮😧

By mixing units of accounting at some point will make people lose funds.

NASA already lost 327 million USD mixing units in a software which lead to a rocket exploding.
