Not sure why there’s still debate about whether we should call them “sats” or not. That is what they are - the smallest unit of Bitcoin.
Redefining the word doesn’t change how the system works, just like calling the Earth flat doesn’t suddenly make it flat. Reality doesn’t shift based on opinion.
People will come to understand sats through osmosis - just by being around Bitcoin long enough.
You don’t need a forced rebranding or a marketing push. It’s like language or culture: the more you’re exposed to it, the more it becomes second nature.
The term will stick because it fits, and because it’s already part of the protocol’s DNA.
