It's a tough marketing challenge in many ways. User's need to understand the relationship of a Bitcoin to a Satoshi and that a sat is NOT a new coin/token/whatever.
US dollars to cents is the easiest way to explain it, at least in the west, but it isn't perfect.
Given there is no "Bitcoin Marketing Department" to create cute initiatives about this issue it is down to the exchanges (currently)... and the exchanges have ZERO incentive to do this.
The more exchanges can obfuscate and confuse things the better it is for them and their shitcoin casinos.
Lightning will likely be the best introduction to sats for the majority of users. One of those things that user's will learn as they get immersed in the product stack.
You are so damn correct, Mate. All those altcoin casinos only try to sell their garbage coins and make a quick buck. However, more and more Bitcoin-only services are popping up, having Sats as their Standard.
We are also trying our best to explain bitcoin and sats to as many people as possible (https://21bitcoin.app/article/what-are-sats). Many also still think that they need to buy a whole bitcoin. It always reminds me how early we still are.
