I personally donβt understand the aversion to displaying small numbers. A $10 coffee costs βΏ0.00009180.
Just show that.
It says it all.

I can get behind that
5,6,7 digits and it gets more confusing though
The same reason we don't measure everything in nanometers, because units are a tool and we should use the one that makes the most sense at the time. Bits shouldn't replace Sats but it is a unit just as sats are. So when we have a number like you said 9180 sats, we can reduce that to 91.80 bits or you could say 91bits and 80 sats. Which makes it more readable because there is less clutter around it.
Makes perfect sense to me but we donβt seem to agree on said Bitcoin units. This should be standardized once and for all.
Thereβs 5 unnecessary digits in your display that are inefficient and require slightly more time to read correctly. Personally I prefer sats with commas if needed.
Theyβre not unnecessary nor inefficient. They communicate a price trending to zero. If we wanna be more elegant, then yes sats as a small unit of Bitcoin are great.
Because you can't show off anymore with stuff like βΏ0.00009180. π 80% of Hip Hop gone overnight, unimpressive sugar daddies. Our brains are not ready for the new reality.
"You're a cheap ass mofo!"
"Cheaper and cheaper, baby!"
Lol you don't want people learning things are getting cheaper over time do you?
Pretty clear way to show prices are trending to zero.
Nine thousand one hundred and eighty bitcoins
I very much prefer to see amounts displayed in sats.
Thatβs fine too π€π½
Drop the zeroes, itβs cleaner.
As stuff gets cheaper in BTC a time will come when coffee will be 0.5 sats. Maybe we can worry about this non-issue when it gets to 0.00001 sats.
SATS


That makes it easier to accidentally or intentionally defraud people.
Which is easier to distinguish:
0.0009180 vs 0.00009180
or
91,800 vs 9,180?
Of course sats are the best solution to this problem and I'm advocate for using them everywhere. I think we should show βΏ9180 sats.
Not everyone thinks like an engineer?
