 Sats is a dumb name, IMO, but it follows what we already know, such as dollars and cents. We've been able to figure that out. 

Zaps the standard. 
 i have a theoretical question tho, what if one day someone created an nip for l-btc donation / tipping on nostr. how should we call it then? haha 
 It won't be a Zap. Hmm. A Splash? 💦 
 yeah that sounds cool tbh 
 "yo, did you zap or splash me?"

totally an understandable theoretical communication on Nostr 🤣. 
 Great name.

Satoshi = whole BTC

Sats = little BTC
