I actually like Carvalho’s proposal. I haven’t followed the fighting though. I also don’t think people will support it. Too many people are attached to what they think they understand about Bitcoin’s success.
I always used this display in my wallets.
Is the most logic one.
Onchain you are doing transactions, that means bitcoin (with display 8 decimals). You are holding, not making payments.
On LN you are doing payments, that means you are dealing with sats. The whole LN system is using sats (not bitcoin) and even msats (mostly for fees).
Sats hands down. Now that I can think of 1000 sats is about a dollar, its easier to make a translation in my mind when needed. I am looking foward to 1 sat being about a penny. Won't be long now.
Definitely. I value sats way more than the way they convert. Spending 5$ feels like nothing. Spending 5000 sats feels like a lot to me. Because I know how much I can make happen with 5000 sats on here and nostr.
Bitcoin and sats. Although I find it a little awkward that 100 000 000 stas is one bitcoin (the number of zeroes does not divide by 3), but that's what it is.
I am just a fan of bitcoin.
As easy as it is to call it sats, bitcoin encompasses everything.
For the people who know, you can just say point zero one bitcoin and they will know it means 0.01 btc.
