I was down with the kabob. Only time I ever saw someone use a sats symbol it was the kabob.

the kabob is indeed the most used sats symbol, but Bitkit and Coinos currently uses ⚡

it's also the sats symbol in Bitkit and Coinos! some bitcoiners like this idea (see 1, 2, 3, 4).

I get that they like it, but its the lightning network symbol. You see the lightning bolt, it means its lightning network combatable. If you used a lightning bolt, but wanted to accept payment outside of the lightning network, your user will be incredibly confused.
Now I get that's the idea, because "You only spend sats on lightning anyway", but in that sense its effectively not using a sats symbol at all, and that's why other sats symbol propositions can safely ignore it, because no one will recognize its supposed to be a sats symbol anyway.

agree, that's why we're removing it from Bitkit: https://x.com/bitkitwallet/status/1753468471185478139

at the end, the symbol must be accepted and implemented by the community else we can go searching for another one.

true, the ultimate sats symbol will end up being whichever people decide to use!

I think ⚡ is fine, we could pretend it stands for proof of work, energy or electricity, bitcoin is closely related to all of them. Also, nothing is stopping future scaling solutions to choose names that hint back to this meaning.
