That's more of an explaination than most people will have time for. They'll need money, someone will send it to them, and they'll stop thinking about the interaction. "Send me Bitcoin", number shows up, their mind says, "Bitcoin received".

Sats can be used as a nickname, but most people will simply equate the numbers with the term Bitcoin.

If that's too much explanation then they aren't ready for bitcoin yet. Doesn't matter what lexicon you change, they won't get it.

Those who are so staunchly and willfully unable to understand 100m sats = 1 bitcoin will either HFSP or get the price they deserve.

Even new entrants need to show minimal proof of work.

Agree. It really isn’t that hard to understand.

Why make it more complex and degrade all the learning material that has been put out there already? Makes it so much more complex with more terms, different slang. Words are words. Sats are Sats. Get used to it.

It’s not hard to understand but it’s an extra step that will be evolved away as Bitcoin becomes efficient for daily spending of billions of users.

New entrants don’t have to show anything. That’s the point. They want to get paid or pay for something. Someone says “Bitcoin” and the numbers are transferred. Then they go on with their day.
