I'm wasting my time trying to corral a Lobster to do what I want.
try coraling it instead
anyone here is the owner of a bitcoin only goods or service company? Im interested to know how you make the accountability for your control. Is it more changelling make it using sats than fiat? considering that you have suppliers, partners, clients and employers handling fiat.
Liabilities being denominated differently than assets can be a bit of a headache, but nothing you cannot plan for; this is a situation you will often have in international trade too. There are best practices, but these mostly focus on a scenario where you planned on being one of the NPCs in Darth's fav meme.
Generally though, choose a base accounting currency. If you're operating a registered entity, the choice is already made for you and you have to comply with what is coming from your state/country. If you're a law abiding citizen, much the same: accounting rules are a thing. If you're a sovereign/disobedient small business or solopreneur you can make your own choices. I've personally been running sats denominated for a couple of years now. Just a (way too complicated) spreadsheet where I track P&L in base sats and book FX gains/losses every time something gets paid / I pay something. It works for me because I've been working internationally, so I'd had those FX risks regardless.
But be careful, the volatility makes it hard to denominate longer term contracts in sats. Maybe for you it isn't a problem but your counterparty may feel different about that; this is something to be aware of. Personally I favor shorter term sat denominated contracts to derisk, after getting confronted with too heavy AR backfill from clients that were willing to make me wait for the fiat exchange rate to come down a bit for them.
The main scenario
You went into a lot of detail and I appreciate you being so open, so I have a few more questions to dig deeper. Do you keep fiat for necessary operations and record them at fair value in sats in that complicated spreadsheet of yours, or do you convert all fiat into sats to avoid having to deal with that accounting and keep your flow "pure"?
Dealing with clients who I assume aren't bitcoiners makes the contract itself feel like an investment to them; it's very complicated, and I'll keep that tip in mind in case I have to deal with it.
The accounting anyway has to happen so it makes not too much of a difference there, but I try to not be hyperactive about exchanging all the time because the action itself is a chore. So I think that the precise answer to your question is: when I get paid in fiat instead of sats, I never exchange everything into sats; simply because then I'd just be converting back days to weeks later and that makes no sense. So say I'd get hypothetically paid today for the coming 6 months worth of fiat expenses, in fiat, then I will at least keep 2 months worth in fiat. If I get paid today in sats for 6 months, then at the end of the month I try to make sure I can cover the next 2 months of fiat expenses too, and exchange back accordingly.
I generally find it much more valuable to spend time finding reliable services that accept sats to decrease structural dependence on fiat, than to micromanage the day-to-day fiat exposure. I guess we can call that low time preference cashflow management.
The general vibe of this morning.
"It doesn't matter at all whether you're right or wrong. What does matter is how much you gain when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong."

Hey @OneOneSeven, could you add the SN cap to my avatar and a background? The background can be from a saloon.
There's a watermark still and that card on the table is a little wonky but how bout that!
Thanks!
LOL both nitpicks I had are sliced off from the cropping, perfect!
A quick update and reminder
And if you do not like what you see, IT IS YOUR PROBLEM not mine.
Do not come up with more excuses. This is the truth.
@DarthCoin NEVER uses sat here on Stacker News.
It only uses CCs because it says 'CCs always work'
It claims it lives in the bitcoin standard- what a load of old tripe.
@DarthCoin is a hypocrite.
The lack of knowledge and insanity of this guy is disturbing...
braaain paaaraaasites!
