It’s silly to try to force people to choose specific Bitcoin slang terms as absolute. If people want to call them sats, BTC, or bits , whatever. Bitcoin is permissionless technology, yet there’s an authoritarian and toxic element growing within the Bitcoin scene, which is sad to see.
Of course, there are fundamental truths and facts, but slang and niche terminology are for individuals to decide for themselves. It speaks volumes when someone tries to impose their preferred slang onto another Bitcoiner.
