 We'll probably end up doing some magic with spacing and colors, it should be formatted like this to be easy for both btc and sat denomination:

12 345, 67 890 124 BTC

 8 decimal places is the weird thing.

However moving completely to sats will make things easy enough. 1BTC will be something like a Bell unit to dB (decibell), no one uses Bell as unit, because it is too inpractically big for most things.

 Why not just do it normally, like practically every other bitcoin wallet? Or at least let us switch formats to what we like?

 Most bitcoin wallets show:

123,456,789 sats

Simple and clear. No confusing spaces. No need to mentally shift decimal places.
