I get they say "sats" today, but think coming up with a symbol for sats that captures "bitcoin" is really important. There is no "symbol" so why not use the bitcoin symbol (or something that somehow relates to bitcoin). I would bet any of these apps would prefer something other than sats, its so so confusing for new users. To give more context, right now Coinbase is spending millions of dollars trying to go after new users saying they should get "onchain" with cbBTC and the logo they use is the B bitcoin logo. This makes my blood boil, however its extremely good (and of course highly misleading) marketing for a new user. BTC onchain sounds amazing. Should I get bitcoin onchain or sats? What's a sat? I'll take bitcoin onchain since onchain is supposed to be good and when i google SAT crypto price I get some random ordinal token. This is what we're competing against, and we're losing btw, with sats. So I'm trying something new, of course, we'll give you the option to show sats. I'd rather we get rid of sats, but thats hard today, so coming up with a bitcoin related symbol is probably the next best thing we could do.
