Because youre confusing yourself in your own post... Dollars to Cents as Bitcoin to Sats. Not a hard concept to grasp, even for a 5 year old normie... ask me how I know. In either case, calling it sats or Bitcoin doesn't change the fact the quoted number has no decimals either way. Not to mention normies are used to decimals... $12.50 is not a confusing number. Using sats you would never quote decimals and you avoid the confusion of 100,000,000 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin. Id agree with you if this was day 1 and bitcoin started out priced over $0.01. But there is 18 years of history at this point so good luck explaining how there are 21m Bitcoin forever and always, but there are also 2,100,000,000,000,000 Bitcoin. 100,000,000 sats = 1 bitcoin. Simple.

Sats depend on understanding the 8 decimal places. Only reason cents work is bc there are only 2 decimal places. People early to bitcoin are smart enough to understand. Clearly the rest of humanity is not capable of understanding 0.00000001.
