In places like El Salvador where bitcoin transactions are more common, I wonder how challenging adoption is when people check out for their groceries and the total is something like 978,560 sats.

Seems like we’d benefit from a naming convention for thousands and tens/hundreds of thousands sats to make the total something more familiar like 9.78 - India did this with ‘lakhs’.

I know they did this to address a devaluing currency but the convention is my attempt at comparison.

Most folk are far from denominating or doing their own math in sats.

The b’ys over at

#[2]​ and if I’m not mistaken #[3]​ have an option to display in USD equivalent, and/or keep their sats in part or in full in a synthetic USD.

I’m thinking if a convention that would move us away from thinking in fiat, but also not feeling like the last days of the Weimar Republic.

Kilosat and megasat. 😊
