Cents are still used verbally but are mostly irrelevant since you mentally wound up to dollars anyway. 6.99 becomes 6 bucks or 7 bucks depending on who you are.

With bitcoin you have to shift away from 21m to the base unit so 21m is gone - 120k per bitcoin is gone. If you accept that, that’s fine.

Its not gone. It will probably be used differently depending on a context and its fine. Let the spoken language dictate this - and I think sats will win and ossify

Spoken language in absence of verbal units defaults to bitcoin so you’d be buying 4738 bitcoins just as you don’t exchange 3634 dollar but dollar(s).
