Why price a leaderboard in sats instead of dollars? Because satoshis are a fixed ruler. Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins, or 2.1 quadrillion satoshis, and that number cannot be voted higher. A dollar-priced #1 from last year is a cheaper #1 today purely because the currency changed, not because the competition did.
