You know, we call it sats because the denomnation 100 million is - unfortunate.

It's not a millibtc, its not a microbtc, its a 'hecto-micro-btc' or something like that.

Yes, it's 'Bitcoin', but a sat is not 'a' Bitcoin.

Because there are just 21million.

What's the problem with cents and pennies and quarters and dimes?

A 3 year old can grasp the concept of 100 cents being a dollar. And of course a cent still is Dollar, it's just not 'a' Dollar.

the base unit is bitcoin as defined in the whitepaper: 'an electronic coin as a chain of digital signatures'. #Bitcoinisbitcoin

You can't stop us calling them sats.

Call them Bitcoin if you want to but don't be angry when people think you're a scammer or an imposter or just retarded when they realise you're actually talking of sats.
