Certainly is a dipsh!t move for anyone who has been around bitcoin for years to do... But, freedom to make mistakes is important. Hopefully humility will eventually bring them back to a logical path in time.
If the goal is adoption, clarity beats cleverness. Confusing normies first and explaining later is not a winning onboarding strategy.
This is great I can use this symbol to sell 1 sat to noobs saying it is 1 BTC.
Dumb. Abandons a great meme, stay humble and stack sats, Abandons a community coined term, not the dry vernacular Makes the unit bias worse
My take is that nothing will be priced in whole coins again. And therefore we don't need to reserve the B for Bitcoin. Sats are Bitcoin. So even though we refer to them as SATS, the B for Bitcoin symbol actually makes sense - as they are fractions of a Bitcoin. I just don't see any scenario (long term) where this becomes an issue or confusing to people. Where someone has 5000 sats and believe they somehow acquired 5000 Bitcoin. And even if they did believe this, it would be very short lived. Like when someone thinks they have 100000 USD in a trading account but they actually have 100000 units of a random shitcoin called USD. Growing pains.
