1. wtf is that thing - it has no connection to any existing symbols or semantics 2. ether already uses it 3. a lowercase "b" is clearly related to the uppercase "B" and makes everyone happy - the people who want the "B" in there can compromise, and the people who want "sats" can be happy we're not using the "B" and can adjust to "b" meaning "sats"

2. ETH uses Ξ . the similarity to the ultimate shitcoin is too much for me 3. and this 'sats symbol' isn't a made up convention? it's all made up, we're making it all up. we've got a chance to make something up that a wider audience will be able to recognize. you really don't think that lowercasing a subunit doesn't have an immediate rationale to it, even for the uninitiated? besides, the convention isn't *entirely* novel: in computing, bytes are B, bits are b. chemistry: m vs M (molal vs molar concentration) math: p vs P (probability value vs measure)
