 Just use bits. 1 bit = 100 sats. 
 Oop 
 No. 
 Why? It’s divisible like a dollar and already has a value most people understand. 
 Because adding more units is useless, it’s already been tried countless times and never caught on. And bits already has another definition in the technology lexicon.

 Fair. 🤝 
 I like this 
 1 bitcoin = 100,000,000 bits 
 Stop trying to make bits a thing🤣 
 I honestly don’t really care and will use whatever the larger community uses, but “sats” just confuses anyone who is new to bitcoin. 
 Whenever I explain it to someone new I just say it's 9 decimal places of a Bitcoin so it's really small and can be used for day to day tx's and they get it, I don't understand what the big deal is, not just you it's everyone yk 
 Forget about decimal places. I tell people 'there are 100 million sats in one bitcoin.' It gives them a goal to count up to and the human brain understands that much quicker and easier than decimal places past about two. 
 That's probably better, I'll try this next time I introduce someone. Thanks!
