 He's got an HSat 
 Just trying to hear the sound of it. Interesting how things get named. Do the names precede the thing or thing precede the name. 

 
 Depends on your standpoint. If profane, the thing arises before the name. That is, the mind bound by the phenomenological names (< verb) to define constraints. But if seeing with the single eye, the world of phenomena flows nondiscreetly, so the thing follows the name.

But to come down from my floaty cloud of woo woo... I farted. I like to think sats will always be the lowest denomination, so when we get to soft forking more zeroes, what we call sats now will be dimes or something. 
 This. 
Future sats will be divided into 100th’s 
Doesn’t roll off the tongue. But y’all smarter than me can do better 🤓
