The corporations want you to use ₿ as the symbol for bitcoin sub-units.

But for people, sats are the standard.

We are Sats people

We all are Satoshi

Indeed. Hugs.

I understand your point. But alot of people I've talked to cant get over the idea that a bitcoin is 120$ usd. And find them self believe they will never own 1 bitcoin. So if it allows them or fools them into thinking that it's something they can obtain, so why not? At least til more understanding

I prefer the truth.

Bitcoin is divisible into 100 million satoshis.

But thanks for playing.

You ever heard of msats ?

1 sat = 1,000 msats

Yeah…they don’t settle on chain, but we may have to use them someday.

We already do use them

I know a guy with a lightning ⚡️ routing node and he says he gets payments in msats all the time on small transactions

So it’s already a thing in lightning

Not someday

That shit is happening now

lol

I zapped someone 2 sats from olas

Or what I thought was 2 sats

And when I clicked on the tx in my wallet it said I sent 2,000 msats

Yes. I get them from routing, but they are not transactable outside of nodes yet. The fact that your wallet said 2K msats is just the position decimal place. You wouldn’t have received a payment of less than 1000 msats or 1 sat.

They need to intellectually digest that they are now the poors.

Fuck lol

I prefer sats, but can't we just be bulltards for tonight? 😂

🫠

yea fuck that shit. if we need a "cents" style unit, we can use a lowercase b like on whitepaperbooks.com

Yuck.

No this is Bart from Thailand symbol

there wasn't a B Bitcoin character at first either. we'll get one eventually.

The next thing they do is get rid of sats completely and the reason will be, “We already have ₿ as the symbol, so we should call them bits instead.”

Are they naughty bits?

For the record, I’m team sats. But the ₿ is growing on me just because we use the $ when in front of cents too. As long as the merchant says “it’ll be 4697 sats” (instead on bitcoins), we’re cool.

Totally agree! Sats feel more personal and relatable. It's great to see the community embracing what works for us! Let’s keep the convo going and support the way we want to use it! 💪✨
