Where does this meme come from? Conflating unit of account (hard) with medium of exchange (have had this since lightning + global BTC/fiat liquidity) nostr:note16nc4qnna0r2exwtynw2dzp5tatzt38fjqkr4sj3f0r48hy8h7g5qypdff5

Do you mean UoA should be USD until we have sat/cent parity? 😁
I don’t make the rules
The first wallet we built at Lightning Labs displayed USD by default and flipped to sats when users tapped the amount label. Many wallets do that now: https://blog.lightning.engineering/announcement/2019/06/19/mobile-app.html
I’m kind of experimenting how long I can get away with displaying just sats rn. I don’t like displaying both fiat and sats at the same time. What do you prefer?
Either people do it in your app or they have to covert on Google 😄
The change comes when you can easily convert sats / dollars in your head. Maybe the bits guys were onto something…
I was big on bits back in the day. But alas people loved sats more 🤷♂️
And you’re right. Flipping to USD was next on my todo list after Android. I’ll probably just display local fiat by default like this: https://x.com/lightning/status/1039605395856084992
