Your block clock. No more panels to repurpose.
It's gonna go to zero, yes?
reply
Moscow time will yes, but that could be expressed in fractions of sats, so it takes some real Zimbabwean hyperinflation for that to run out of decimal space.
BTC/USD view will need a single panel to display 2 digits, which would be fun but ugly, or lose precision by switching to a higher denomination of USD, like kUSD or MUSD.
But when that happens, maybe everyone will finally see the light and 1sat=1sat and we all just calc in them priceless sats. SN has actually, and unexpectedly, boosted the satsification of my daily life - I recognized recently that I have been calculating every expense back to sats.

hahaha nice. Yea, Marty Bent was prefacing some google plug-in to automatically convert every dollar figure to sats. That'd be super helpful on a daily basis :D

I like that too except one doesn't always know which "dollar" we're dealing with (and some crazy countries like DR use the dollar sign for their pesos too which is insanely confusing because no, I do not want to buy your $500 sandwich.)
I'm doing it in my head when in brick & mortar too:
"10 XCD for a red bull ~= 3.5k sats... ok I guess energy drinks are expensive"
"2000 DOP for a meal ~= 30k sats... ok I guess food is also expensive"
"500 CRC for an espresso ~= 900 sats... yay for coffee"
all you need to know is the local currency to sats exchange rate, very nice. I used to only calc back big purchases to BTC but the "seeing sats everywhere" thing has definitely improved how I experience life on the move.
