159 sats \ 2 replies \ @Scoresby OP 13 Dec \ parent \ on: John Carvalho proposes BIP renaming sats as bitcoin bitcoin
I agree with you, but the clunkiness of eight decimal places and other such numeric ugliness that the current 1 btc definition causes is real. Carvalho is pointing out the source of real confusion, especially among no coiners and newbies.

Every wallet allows the user to change from sats to BTC or bits or whatever. If the wallet does not then it's no good.
Now I use Gnucash to track Bitcoin use and I can set up BTC or sats. I've set up BTC with the habit of knowing 8 decimal places. So I put 56,345 sats as 0.00056345 it's easy and it takes about an hour to get used to it. But when I do a big picture look I can see how close my net BTC worth is to 21,000,000 BTC instead of how many sats I have to 2.1 quadrillion.
Innumerate people are not going to care. They just want to preserve value and spend when needed. Marxist like to change stuff so that they can extract more slave labor.
