Controversial take: #sats > #bits because you have moar units 🤔

Seriously, using bits alongside sats makes things more complicated. Like when we had this in the UK:

Pounds

Shillings

Pennies

#Bitcoin doesn't want to go there! http://projectbritain.com/moneyold.htm

Better not be controversial because bits are regarded

Bits made sense, few years ago. Not anymore, IMHO

Long term it could make sense imo. 1 Bitcoin will be extremely valuable, so literally nothing in this world will be priced in whole BTC units.

#BTC was never meant to be a unit, even the code is working in sats as units since the beginning.

I like the unit of sats (1/100mill) but think it would have been better if we called what we currently call sats…bits. Linguistically it makes more sense - Bitcoins is made up of bits. But we’re here now, so let’s stack sats.

Very true. We somehow messed it up, making it hard to go back.
