I think this is specially true when the value of a full Bitcoin is so high.
“I own 1000 of the smallest portions of a whole #Bitcoin” sounds somehow better than “I own 0.00001 #BTC”.
And what’s more interesting is, this bias loses meaning when the whole coin is worth almost nothing.
I prefer to work in sats…
Our minds seem to handle only a few orders of magnitude of something, then we need a new name.
For instance, we know what $1,000 is, but instead of 1,000,000 we say 1 million, and 1,000,000,000 is 1 billion.
And we wouldn't say 0.01 million, we would say 10,000 or 10K.
So we don't like fractions smaller than 1, and we can handle 3-4 zeros before switching to a different name.
