Here is a new entrant (not actually new, seems to have been written 11 months ago, but this is the first I heard of it) in the satoshis display symbol debate. I can't say that I'm a fan, but I respect the effort:
There's a lengthy write up here:

Not bad!!! We need a symbol and something that is easily understood and eliminates the unit bias. Coins to 100M coins = 1 bitcoin flows like water

Wrong. Coins is even more confusing.
It simply want to imply that exist a physical coin. It doesn't.
These stupid proposals are from dumb fiat maxis that cannot let go the fiat... their mind is do putrid that cannot adapt yo bitcoin but trying to adapt bitcoin to old world.
Also an important thing: sats / satoshis is a tribute paid to Satoshi. Trying to remove tjis tribute is really concerning.

That tweet is saying more than people can imagine. And he didn't do it for likes.
He really mean it. I do not want to know what other bullshit is in his head.
No matter how much good he did in the past for Bitcoin, this tweet shows his true nature and cannot be ignored.
People should ask themselves: what is the opposite to capitalism, anarchy, ancap ?
Statism, communism, tyranny, oppression etc.
Bitcoin cannot exist in such "environment".

I don't know if he means it or not. I also don't care, because if Bitcoin could be captured by Luke & co, then Bitcoin fails. I don't believe it can be captured. Best he can do to consolidate this political bs is fork off and be bdfl on his own fork.

I learn a lot from the past history of Bitcoin and all the events around it.
I always zoom out and think "Qui bono?".
All these core/knots fights are a distraction, now you see all around hit pieces that "blockstream was funded by Epstein" etc... its all to distract people from things that really matter and fight in stupid things, to take sides, fight to each other to the death.
Nothing is random in all these debates/fights. Everything is a "hit piece".
Is always going back to this famous meme

Honestly, seems that’s still one of the biggest pain points.
That said, I think sats already has a lot of cultural momentum at this point, so swapping them out for “coins” would need to feel natural, not forced. If wallets and exchanges don’t adopt it, it won’t stick.
But props for pushing the conversation forward. Still skeptical though, if this exact idea become the standard.
