Thoughts on using ₿ as a suffix for notation instead of using "sats"?

100₿ = 100 sats

quoting

- You are sending/receiving bitcoin, not “sats”
- The asset is bitcoin, the most well-know asset in the world, the symbol should be there
- Sats is very confusing if you’re new to bitcoin. Easy to confuse the asset and unit if you're new. Good to know you have bitcoin and learn more than think you have sats
- There is zero confusion even if you can’t keep pre/suffixes straight since there is a 100m difference in value (if there is then that’s a good problem to have)
- ₿ looks way better than “sats” and is already is a symbol that exists everywhere

Sats is one of the worst UX mistakes in bitcoin, so open to other ideas, just trying one out!
