 The sat is the only unit that means anything to me. I actually get quite annoyed at UIs that only show me decimal values. It's so fucking useless and annoying, especially when it's like 5000k sats. I'm okay with seeing 100,000,000 if I had to move a "whole coin." I'm sure most people are. 
 I doubt anyone I personally know will ever need to move an entire coin, unless they sell a house of something. 
 Exactly my point. And even if they do, seeing 100M instead of 1.0 aloft their horse isn't as big of a deal as making everyone else suffer the confusion lol

 Yeah, I only think in sats. It's just the euro price doubled and with 3 zeros added on. I can do that really fast, in my head.

Like, if a cup of coffee costs €4, then that's 8000 satoshis. Easy. 
 Another one I did is figuring out that €25 is 50k sats. (25*2*1000). That's my "should probably pull it into LN self-custody" level. And 100k sats is then €50 and that's my "should probably pull it into hard wallet" level. 
 I just picked €25 because that seemed like a pain point. That's a dinner at a restaurant or a steak from my butcher. Half a tank of gas. 
 Check Liana wallet UI, they display the amount in sats with the 0,00... grayed-out in front of it, so you have both bitcoin and sats in one view.
0,1 BTC = 0,10'000'000 ₿.
It's a very good UI trick to solve this problem. 
 Yes, that's useful. I always forget that it's 100k sats to a coin, and not a million. 
 its 100 Million sats to a coin 
 Oh, right. 😂 I really can't comprehend large numbers. Generally suck at numbers.

I'll stick to variables. Safer. 
 nevermind :)
