it's almost like these conversations really do matter.
it matters for all the normies who are yet to onboard to bitcoin.

i agree. normies coming in would be super confused trying to understand when B 10,000 means sats vs bitcoin.
reply
they'll send 10000 sats from one wallet and receive ₿10000 on another. both wallets will show that ~$4,39 was sent/received. quite straightforward!

nothing about that is straight forward

yeah this is a very short-sighted view. for anyone new to bitcoin, having two meanings for a single symbol depending on context is going to make confusing. we should be lowering the barrier of entry, not making it harder by requiring users to do research before they buy. in addition, it could be harder on developers down the road as well. having a ui that can easily show that it's okay that you got paid and your balance went from B 9,999,999 to B .01 without spelling out bitcoin or sats sounds like a UX nightmare.
