I don't understand this entire debate. All computer logic is integer-based.
1224 satoshis is the same number as 0.00001224 Bitcoin. That's just two different formats for writing it, the same way that $10.25 is the same as 1025¢
And it's good to have a larger-number style and a smaller-number style, as humans struggle to read long numbers.
I don't know for sure, but because the protocol is actually based on sats, they want to rename it to bitcoin.
I'd say let's do this. chaos is the way 🤪
It sounds retarded, to me.
Instead of saying "1.45 Bitcoin", you'd have to say "145000000 sats".
the rationale is probably based on the fact that you'd rarely need to use such a big number.
you could also use 145e+6 😂
I think the rationale is to do away with sats entirely and call the smallest unit a bitcoin.
yup, our brains can only recognise at most three at once by a glance, that's why many countries have place separators every 3 places, many programming languages permit them too, in Go it's an underscore, means the same to the machine but you can make more sense of it quickly
Or 0.1224 Bitoshis
I at least don‘t have issues with SI units. Meter, kilometer, Megameter, Gigameter 🤣
