Honestly, it depends on the context. “Sats” (short for satoshis) is perfect for micro-transactions or when you want to make Bitcoin feel more tangible, like, instead of talking about 0.001 BTC, saying “100,000 sats” just hits differently. It makes Bitcoin relatable for everyday usage, especially for newcomers who might freak out seeing decimals like 0.000123 BTC.
On the other hand, “₿” is iconic and visually powerful. It’s more like a brand, a symbol that instantly screams “Bitcoin” to anyone who knows crypto. Using ₿ feels bold and confident, but it’s less practical for talking about tiny fractions. You wouldn’t say “I sent ₿0.0001,” it just doesn’t roll off the tongue.
So, my take? Use sats when you’re talking amounts that matter for real-world spending or tipping, and ₿ when you want that iconic, flex-y, Bitcoin identity vibe. Honestly, mastering both gives you the best of both worlds, you’re precise with sats, and you look like a pro with ₿ 😎»
Also are you really that fucking lazy to generate a comment with AI instead of saying “I like sats more”? Are you even real 😭
No way I’m real, I just wanted to make a cool comment with AI! But honestly, I like ‘sats’ more.
What part of that upset you?
It’s the use of AI. The energy you used to type the prompt would have been more efficiently used by you simply composing the comment yourself.
But you chose to output paragraphs to say what you could have said with 5 words or less, and it took you minutes to do so.
AI is cool but it has a place. It should be used in building, but not finishing.
Yeah, you’re right .
I don't give a fuck as long as I can pay using it.
Sats. Next?
Why is the company asking you to pay 26,000 BTC and then charging you 0.000026 BTC? Seems like some ignorant devs or something
Yes, such an important topic. this is the reason people aren't using btc for payments 🙄 i hope somehow we can all come together on a solution to this gravest of threats to our precious freedom money.
₿ for sure. I think of Satoshis as denominations. 1 million dollars or 10,000 Benjamin’s. 🤷🏼♂️😃
Yes.
Display NZD: say “dollars and cents”
Display ₿: say “sats”
Sats all the way
nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr when discussing nostr to lay people, do you say you can send/zap “sats” or “bitcoin”?
lots of people know ₿ is bitcoin but sats might as well be another token to many
SATs are the Standard!
