I recently sold a guitar for coin. We agreed on the price, in sats, a couple days before we met up. There was no back and forth trying to triangulate the BTC:USD rate at the exact moment we made the trade 🤷♂️

if you do this purely, without ever looking at the USD valuation of those sats, then it's a true Bitcoin standard.
but if we're always dividing the USD valuation of a thing, by the USD valuation of those stats, then it's not really a Bitcoin standard.
its still a fiat standard.
I'm not saying don't do it. definitely, trade in sats as much as possible.
I'm just saying don't fool yourself into thinking that you're off a Fiat standard.
but we need is communities that can get self-sufficient to the point where they can price their needs directly in sats without looking US dollars.
