@jack yo dude, sats is the standard. It’s cool, I get it, you’re trying something to help adoption, but seriously sats is the way. People get it, it’s intuitive, 6000 bitcoins for a coffee is not, everyone already gets that 1 bitcoin is worth more than their yearly salary, so that’s confusing. Says they get, cuz dollars got cents too.

It's a question of UX design and I like it. Do whatever you want in your app

No shit, the point of the post is I don’t care if you like it, it’s confusing to new participants.

Enabling bitcoin payments with no fees to millions of terminals, contributing resources to create to competitive mining hardware, introducing new hardware wallet options, are all good for bitcoin. Don’t let your personal opinions of an individual color their contributions to bitcoin, because those things are all objectively good for bitcoin.

Just use “sats” until the Unicode symbol is established. 3 extra characters (that can be any size) surely can’t break your design especially considering half of a square terminal is empty space at that point of the transaction.

I agree. People understand dollars and cents so they should easily be able to understand bitcoin and sats.
