Even if we move to mint-zaps, this will still be the zap icon and the thing people see every time they zap any kind of sats. Also, the freedom tech that will take BTC mainstream will very likely be Nostr apps and have zaps. 2️⃣ It looks f*cking cool, represents POW and energy like nothing else and resembles an "S" 3️⃣ The current alternative looks like Kebab
Haha... kebab money fixes it.
I'm not excluded the future existence of Kebab-mint 😜

Yes. Is anyone trying to push/explore alternatives?
Besides BitKit, is there any wallet that uses it as a sat symbol? Most just write sats and if they use an icon it's the kebab. Mostly I'm curious if the time is ripe for interfaces like these: https://image.nostr.build/90cfb8ec4bd4a3014b8c3dc56da4a10b468657a623a3bc3a55cb645f6ece98b6.png Where I don't have to display "sats" after every number.
For me ⚡ will always be the Lightning symbol, which should not be conflated with sats as a unit. For example, when I buy things at checkout I choose ⚡ to indicate I want to pay over Lightning as opposed to on-chain. I use sats as a unit account not just for Lightning but also for base layer and ecash. Zaps are Lightning transactions. Intermint swaps are also Lightning transactions. The current sats symbol comes from 丰 which means fullness or plentifulness in some East Asian languages. It's one way Satoshi's name can be transliterated. Personally I like that. I also think it's easy to write.
