Bitcoin does need a standardized quantum for its base unit. Sats<>btc is confusing and 10^8 units is between metric prefixes.
I vote for metric master race; I say we move the decimal 1 more unit right (21 quadrillion sats)
1x10^9 sats or 1 giga-sat = 1 Bitcoin
This could logically get rid of satoshis as the quantum unit name and we keep a standardized naming convention in btc only.
Bitcoin is the quantum computer after all; we should take the unit convention seriously and follow physics standards.
What say you bitcoinerrorlog (nprofile…fgzv) ? Move the decimal 1 more unit right too? A “whole coiner” just becomes a gigachad, literally.
