I won’t. I’m using your energy as fuel

Because youre confusing yourself in your own post... Dollars to Cents as Bitcoin to Sats. Not a hard concept to grasp, even for a 5 year old normie... ask me how I know. In either case, calling it sats or Bitcoin doesn't change the fact the quoted number has no decimals either way. Not to mention normies are used to decimals... $12.50 is not a confusing number. Using sats you would never quote decimals and you avoid the confusion of 100,000,000 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin. Id agree with you if this was day 1 and bitcoin started out priced over $0.01. But there is 18 years of history at this point so good luck explaining how there are 21m Bitcoin forever and always, but there are also 2,100,000,000,000,000 Bitcoin. 100,000,000 sats = 1 bitcoin. Simple.

Sats depend on understanding the 8 decimal places. Only reason cents work is bc there are only 2 decimal places. People early to bitcoin are smart enough to understand. Clearly the rest of humanity is not capable of understanding 0.00000001.

Because every currency has smaller units with different names and people don't even realize it.

Not to 8 decimal places, and making that 8th decimal place, the standard unit that everyone uses.

People do not understand Federal Reserve Notes at all either. People have no idea what their “money” is or if it is even money in the first place. So, yeah, simplify everything is the way

If youre displaying 0.00000001 thats in Bitcoin terms. In sats terms its 1. Your argument that sats is more confusing because of decimals is literally what using "sats" solves. The debate isn't even here, its semantics. Should that unit (which we both agree solves the decimal issue) represented by the word Bitcoin or sats? The word Bitcoin already represents something else in the current lexicon so making this unit also called Bitcoin makes it more confusing not less. It doesn't affect nor change the reality of math and numbers so arguing decimals is neither here nor there.

Bitcoin needs to be way more accessible to dumb people, and calling sats bitcoin is literally a no-brainer.

I think a psychological hurdle people have (me) was working so hard, so much time and sacrifice, to get to that mythical whole coin, and then after all that, just wipe it away and say there is no such thing as a whole coin, it’s hard. (But whole coiners can cry into their 100,000,000 bitcoin) Also, one of the biggest and most successful quick explainers for the bitcoin elevator pitch handbook has always been 21 million. That would go away- and we will need a new way to explain the scarcity (2.1 quadrillion doesn’t help ppl understand). Bip177 differentiates between BTC and bitcoin which seems like a good solution to me.

21 million is mostly an argument to male to the monetary cranks who think they are macroeconomic geniuses, such as gold bugs and other fans of dead thought models that treat economics like a philosophy and not a science.
