Why confuse normies by saying “sats” when you can confuse them even more by saying “₿” and then having to later explain that it’s really just sats and then having to explain what sats are anyway? So much better.

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.
why only confuse newbies when you can confuse everyone else too

If the goal is adoption, clarity beats cleverness. Confusing normies first and explaining later is not a winning onboarding strategy.
They should just call them jacks and get it over with

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.
