 I barely use sats, but I will *never* use bits. 

I still prefer "bitcoin" & "bitcoins" as my units of measurement. 
 Likely as you have so many 😂 
 Totally agree 👍 
 "sats" unit is when you use a LN wallet.
"BTC" unit is when you use an online wallet.
SIMPLE AS THAT 
 Online? 
 What kind of question is this?
You can't use properly Bitcoin if you are not online. 
 Do you mean on-chain bitcoin? 
 ah yes 
 yes sorry, maybe I have too much B-Komplex 😄

 Great point. The only time I use sats is in a LN wallet (which I use all the time). 
 And sats 
 Ugh, I'm a sats Maxi, using decimal points for everything is too cumbersome.   
 Same 
 Ultimately, I don’t care either way it is what it is. But before bitcoin did you pay for your coffee .00000009 dollars? 
 $0.50 coffee  
 That's like a hack'd up dollar. See what I did there? 
 Your missing it, but it doesn’t matter it will get called all kinds of names just like a buck=dollar and everyone knows what your talking about 
 sats are the standard ✌️  
 Yeah, fuck bits. 
 Yay! 
BTC, mBTC, uBTC (bits), nBTC (0.1sats) for the win. 
 Sat works so well since it hits Sanskrit too: The Sanskrit word sat (सत्) has many meanings, including:
Being, existence
Real, actual
True, good, right
Absolute reality
Fact
Brahman
That which is unchangeable
That which has no distortion
That which is beyond distinctions of time, space, and person
That which pervades the universe in all its constancy
Eternal existence and goodness
Auspicious action
