Said it before, and I will say it again.
Language separated by wealth
Normal people will ‘have bitcoin’ and use it as the plural for sats (or w/e you want to call them)
A bitcoin or bitcoins, with the ‘A’ or ‘S’, will reference whole coin(s/ers) denoting wealth
1 bitcoin = 1 satoshi
As much as I don’t like the sound of that, that is where the logic leads.
Perhaps the distinction will show between ‘one’ and ‘a’
1 bitcoin = 1 sat
A bitcoin = 100000000 sats
Language gets weird, sometimes.
When bitcoin goes to the moon, 10^8 ceases to be a useful denomination of currency
That’s why the ‘a’ or ‘s’ for singular/plural will stick around for the wealthy, might even see the ‘s’ on the singular instead of retaining the ‘a’:
.01 bitcoins = 1000000 sats
2 bitcoins = 200000000 sats
While everyone else uses bitcoin for singular and plural:
1 bitcoin = 1 sat
25000 bitcoin = 25000 sats
