$. It's already on every keyboard and device, and it's purpose will be negated in 10 years...
$ also carries such a negative connotation that represents the opposite of everything Bitcoin stands for. why would we want to associate sats pristine brand image with that?

I think the whole idea is to replace dollars, it would be a funny bit of irony if we replaced the dollar symbols representation with sats. Mission accomplished

We are building a new monetary system! Wouldn’t it be way more symbolic to let $ become a relic from the past? I'd prefer if my grandkids only learned about the dollar sign in museums.

Once the flippening happens where dollars and sats go one for one this week make Seth l sense (cents).

Today, 1 satoshi buys 0,22 CRC, 0,36 ARS, and 0,39 NGN. Costa Rica, Argentina, and Nigeria also happen to be countries with growing Bitcoin adoption. A $10000 price tag could mean sats, CRC, ARS, or NGN. In countries like Colombia, where 1 sat parity has been reached (1 sat = 1,68 COP), it's even harder. As we approach hyperbitcoinization, the $ will grow more ambiguous, not less

I think in Bitcoin. I don't need a special symbol for sats. It took me about two weeks to mathematically map it out but I did. People always want to dumb shit down for other people but the fact is that the people who use money will always understand price discovery. It's natural to the human mind. Even people who are innumerate and illiterate have a basic understanding of price discovery.
The sinister part is the front running by fractional reserve banking and money printing via fiat currency.
Using the Bitcoin logo for sats is dumb.
It's like those who want the United States to use metric for building materials. Carpenters understand imperial system because it's useful. Metric is just digital. Engineers use digital feet. But imperial measurement goes back to the pyramids! It's a reflection of astrological observation. The word carpenter means chariot builder. They used the wheel, compass, square, plumb bob and Miles ( 1000 double paces) to build. Carpenters were also masons. The wheel was the super tool!
