100 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 OP 8h

I have been thinking a lot about unit of account lately. I have lived in the US my whole life, so measuring everything in dollars is second nature. I wonder about people in other countries. Do they also use the USD price to calculate bitcoin in their head, or do they watch it in local currency to measure buying power?
