I still think bits & sats as a dual denomination is a better idea than this.
It aligns with the modern history of money (over 250 countries use it) and $10.40 just feels like money. The $ symbol is up for debate. I wouldn’t mind if people used the Bitcoin symbol for bits. It wouldn’t take long to catch on if people started saying the B symbol means Bits not Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the orange logo.
₿10.40 looks like money 💸
BIP177 proposes redefining Bitcoin's base unit by making 1 satoshi = 1 bitcoin.
Currently, 1 bitcoin = 100,000,000 satoshis.
This change aims to simplify transactions and reduce confusion.
