You know it's Euros because 1 euro is a meaningful denomination in everyday life. If 100,000 euros was called a Didgeridoo you'd be none the wiser. People will of course start using Sats. What's the alternative? Imagine this future in-podcast advertisement: “Get yours now, only zero point zero zero zero zero zero one bitcoin” “Wait, Mark, how many zeros did you say?” “I think I said four, Linda.” “I counted five.” “Ah, right, my mistake. Get yours now, only zero point zero zero zero zero Bitcoin!” “Yeah that was four.” “Cool.” Like I said, if you're in favour of dropping the brand Bitcoin for Sats in the context of everyday life that's cool but you have to come out and acknowledge that's the rebrand you're pushing for.

Yes, you can say sats. It's ok. The system is called Bitcoin and the unit is called sats. No problem there. It's the same as with guarani. Something is 200k. Everyone knows it's guarani, no one knows how much one guarani is worth (almost nothing). Everyone is able to operate in this environment. - Can you pay me in Bitcoin? - Sure, how much? - 2k sats, here's an invoice - sure, here you go No problem. - Can you pay me in Bitcoin? - Sure, how much? - 1 bitcoin - What? Wasn't 1 bitcoin like 100k$? - no, not the old bitcoin, the word now has a different meaning, haven't you read the BIP? - really? since when? just tell me how many sats. - 1 sat - you could have told me that in the first place
