100 sats \ 1 reply \ @denlillaapan OP 11h \ parent \ on: How the Next Financial Crisis Might Happen (The Economist) econ
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.
