If I want AI slop, I go to the slopfest, Instagram.

Some new people I’ve talked to get it right away, but most newbs’ eyes glaze over. Other people in the real world see this too: https://primal.net/e/ The proposal recommends leaving the BTC ticker the same, so the price would be unaffected. At least in the short term. I think that over time, exchanges might shift to the commonly used syntax — if bitcoin becomes widely used for payments. Which is going to take a long time.

A fixed supply is a fixed supply. The point is that it doesn't inflate.

What portion of the global population uses bitcoin, and is familiar with the word "sat"? 1%? 0.001%? Whatever it is, that is the extent to which "sat" is established. Explaining what "sats" means to people who are new to Bitcoin, or even those who are not new to Bitcoin but are unfamiliar with "sat", is a tedious exercise, often met with confusion. It is not intuitive for them, nor easy to remember. If we just call the units bitcoins, that problem goes away; there would be nothing extra to remember. It is a lower cognitive load for new users. It also removes the "I can't afford a bitcoin" unit bias that a surprising number of people have.
