I think this introduces more problems than it solves to be honest.

“But it sounds weird to call it ‘sats‘ and use the ₿ symbol” Many have tried to come up with a currency symbol that resembles the word ‘sats‘, but none reached a consensus. The verdict is in: it‘s either ₿ or none at all. There‘s no second ₿est.

I'll stick with the High Voltage emoji ⚡ since I don't understand why such an attitude should result in consensus if all others before "failed". Also, I am not aware of any currency symbol that tried to resemble the word "sats". ₿ is trying to resemble the word "bitcoin" though. I am only aware of the lightning and the kebab. They are not resembling the word "sats", are they?

₿ stands for Bitcoin for me. ⚡ is LN.

yep, creating more problems than actually solving it, I guess the market would decide for itself.

⚡ is LN.

That's the problem they are trying to solve haha

⚡ is sats for me, LN is or was just the first payment network where mainly sats are used.

Looks like a kebab: https://satsymbol.com/

Can't unsee since someone mentioned this. Also, not sure how else to describe this symbol? "the one that looks like a kebab" always worked fine so far haha
