Don't call my lord and master a retard 😂
I don't love 1 Sat = 1 Bitcoin, but I at least don't hate it.
Exactly.. I won’t die on this hill, but I might sit here with a box of popcorn 🍿
Where's that GIF of the guy sitting there eating a box of popcorn when you need it 😂
Then tell him to quit trying to change the name of the base unit. A Sat is a Sat is a Sat
Another point, why is GIF pronounced JIF ?
I dare not, I am but a humble pleb 😞
😡 because it’s not!
Don’t get me started on that debate 🤣
Great points. Also, to me that 'bit' is a fraction of 'bitcoin' is a strike against using 'bit'... I'm pretty sure that borrowing 'bit' from the fact that other currencies have historically used it isn't necessarily a good thing, either.
I'm not opposed to coming with another term for 'sat', but this push to force a change is stupid. Just start using another term if you want. If it organically catches on, great! That's how language actually works... not by fiat.
😂
Isnt it pronounced KIF?
Try
@lemon's

You’re onto something!
What? 🤯
As always 😂😂😂
Try this:
I know nuffin' of them "Bits", sire. You mean half-quarter coin or Sats?
KIF for everyone! 🤙

I'm starting to like KIFs 😂
I knew it 😂 KIFs gonna tear down walls
You are exactly right. Why try to fix something that is not broke. The use of Bitcoin/Satoshi works perfectly fine, we don't need to fiatise it.
Hmm.. how come the gif doesn’t auto play? Is it just me?
We need to save bits for when sats are worth 1lb
It also honours our founder.
Exactly 💯.

But Sats is just an abbreviation of the first name of our diety. It makes sense, only to the ones who have been into bitcoin, when it needed a diety.
Bitcoin is ready to leave the nest. Just smile through your tears and be proud. Bitcoin belongs to the world now, not just to us.
I do 😞

one thing i constantly am reminded when using bitcoin, keep slaying your heroes
so good that you disagree with him, its such a shit idea
Agreed, about slaying your heroes. I generally don't have heroes, but there are many people I respect, including Adam.
Also, don't assume the opposing argument is shit. Calling Sats "Bitcoin" has merit, opening up the OP_RETURN has merit.
Just my view on both is to keep them unchanged because those arguments have greater merit.
very diplomatic sir
Perhaps, but understanding and agreeing with the validity of an opposing view often helps you win the argument quicker and easier in my limited experience.
indeed, and yes agree
you also have benefit of sounding much more friendlier too than just calling things shit which is helpful in online forums
ideally everyone forms their own opinions not relying on their heroes to tell them what to think
💯
Steelman ftw
“retarded” is the technically precise word here. it means behind expected development.
for a nocoiner to think “wouldn’t bit be better, it’s silly in the same way a 3 year old thinks it would be better if ice cream rained down from the sky.
the 3 year old isn’t retarded because it’s inline with the thought process of a normal 3 year old.
someone being in btc since its development thinking bit is better is just retarded in the same way a 30 year old thinking it would be better with ice cream rain
@𝕥𝕚𝕘𝕖𝕣
I dont assume it’s shit, I know it’s shit because i examined the argument and there is no logically valid justification.
playing a woke/gnostic word game thinking it has any essential effect on reality is “retarded” in the most precise sense of the word for any rational adult
if it was named bits and matured as bits, i would be on team bits and the sat crowd would be retarded.
this entire issue is just a category error
an IQ test people are taking in public
A career in international diplomacy awaits you my friend 😂
it’s always been a tough road for philosophers 🤣
I’m about to get to the front lines of the culture war with my first book coming out end of june.
I have no delusions about what awaits. more slings and arrows than atta’boys
