I am still a bit torn on the need for a sat symbol, and I really hope we can avoid it. If you look at the cent, it can be written as "cent", "ct", "¢", or just "c". Why not then be OK with "sat"?
Or we just have fun with it and go for "₿s" (inspired by the use of "Bs" by Venezuela and Bolivia for their currencies).
Sure, I guess that there's not much difference in using three or four letters..
Pounds & Pence, Dollars & Cents, Bitcoin & Sats
Interesting point. Writings out sats or satoshis is not that difficult and is distinguishable.
I guess, similar to the redenominations of fiscal currencies over the years, the issue is then, for wallets to choose to adopt accounting in ₿ OR sats and [ satoshi ] would be transcribed into [ サト ] [ 中本聪 ] [ساتوشي ] [ Сато́си ] etc.
Maybe the simplest answer wins.
Or we just have fun with it and go for "₿s"
Not sure about that!
