we are remaking money!

it's fine. wreck expectations! have fun. quit bike-shedding.

first things first:

#1 sats or gtfo

it's "the standard" for a reason. don't worry, coffee is for closers.

you differentiate yourself in order to specify yourself from the herd. we're not here to fit in, this is the new new. grandma and your boomer financial planner will think in points, pounds, pennies and pence to their graves.. nobody ever got famous doing the same schtick their grandparents did, and that's not how civilization progresses.

"the Dow fell 14500 points this morning on news that it's over for dollars" - some newsmodel on some blowhard tv broadcast, probably

"14500 basis points, you say? how many percent is that?" - you, in your soiled adult diaper, yelling ineffectually at the set-top-box at the old-folks home

it's 14.5%.

"but why are they called basis points? you're going to confuse my Grandmama"

shut up. who cares. that's why.

can't figure it out?

sorry, you and granny can both HFSP.

#2 every 4th decimal position gets a comma

₿ 10.1234,5678

imagine you’re in Japan, staring at a price tag that reads 1,0000,0000 yen. your brain is filling its diaper trying to understand how such an advanced civilization could be so backwards... boom, you're gonna need to change that stinker cuz you just pooped yourself.

₿ 10.1234,5678

"why not just use the Western 100,000,000?"

it’s not a typo. Japan’s comma party is tied to how they talk numbers. 1 is ichi. man is 10000. ichi-man_ = 1 x 10,000

and 1,0000,0000 is one oku. ichi-oku (1 x 100 million) is 100 million... 10,000 x 10,000).

₿ 10.1234,5678

don't like it? too bad. Japan’s system is coded into their language, culture and their futuristic vending machines. even their pseudonymous creators flex in four digits when they give life into the most important invention in ichi-man generations.

₿ 10.1234,5678

are you happy now? because you bloody well should be.

it's perfect. get a job, hippy.

I could get behind ₿10,000 as long as it was said out loud as “10,000 sats” or “10,000 satoshis” and have 10,000 bitcoin still be written as 10,000 BTC or 10,000 bitcoin. If you just write 10,000 sats on something, one argument is those who have heard of bitcoin might still have no idea what ‘sats’ are. Standardizing the ₿ symbol for sats might be the happy middle ground.
