Square really went with that for the sats symbol ๐

Practical for mainstream adoption. Looks better than 0.00001234-whatever.
If it helps no-coiners and noobies come on board, then i accept it.
Yeah ok, but it should just read 940 sats, not 940 bitcoin.
Let hope no one has 940 Bitcoin in their lighting wallet. Quite a flex, but not ideal.
That's almost 20% of the entire Lightning network.
Confusing af for every newcomer.
@jack this is beyond retarded
Iโll never call sats bitcoins, bits or whatever. Either normies learn the difference, or they can HFSP. You canโt fix stupidity if you make things stupid. You only help making dumb people even more dumb. @jack come on!

Could use the Parmanode style :
Ngl, Iโm a fan of โฟ for sats
the merchant can select sats orย bitcoin ( at least in dashboard )
I can't select sats in cash app. Only Bitcoin or Bitcoins... Differentiated by a word or a symbol. Fucking retarded.
Not hating for the work they've done to make spending Bitcoin easier, but....

Not even bits. Bitcoins. Like a sat is a Bitcoin.
Like a penny is now a dollar. Like this is totally not confusing.
Bits are 100 sats.
Or 1/8 of a byte ๐
Sounds ๐
I have a hundred billion million bitcoins
Fucking sounds gay and retarded
Extremely retarded and gay
1 sat = 1 sat ๐ค

Extremely confusing to "normies" as they probably know that one Bitcoin costs thousands of US-Dollars as seen on the news.
Btw the exchange rate has decimal digits? 940.96 Sats for 1 USD? That's very precise, lol.
probably based on fee % they take.
It's Lightning; could add another digit for millisats.
Yeah, but why? :D
Looks like the merchant only gets 940 Sats.
omg yess finallyy ๐๐
yep. bitcoins
Cโest la vie ๐ Today was a total game changer. Congratulations
Amazing rollout but โforcingโ this display unit while the whole network already uses the bitcoin/satoshi standards is non sense. Itโs equivalent to using the mile unit in Europe, nobody does that and it just makes it more difficult, confusing and error prone to interface with Square bitcoin.
Damn it, jack.
How could you!
Ha
Thanks for all you do @jack
I like it
i canโt accept. how do u see a whole bitcoin? i really wanna know.
or lets just do-away with 100,000,000 altogether? asking
it only feels like restart for those who didnโt buy bitcoin at a dollar.
OR u must be thinking a dollar is a dollar whether its 100 thousand or just 2. shouldnโt change names just because we want fractionalize it.
damn u got me thinking. i donโt wanna like it so stop. lol.
lowercase 'b' is sats 
What's a bitcoins? Makes no sense.
*sats
Sats are sats. We also have a great symbol for it, although not in unicode yet.
If โฟ is sats, how do you type 100m sats (1 Bitcoin)?
Or is the idea to completely ditch the 100m number and reactor everything as sats/โฟ?
BTC
Why is it still sats in cash app?
good symbol
Bitpence or something like that, with the symbol, maybe. But we're not rebranding โ/21M. 
Bruh you just missed a teaching opportunity for 4 million businesses. Sats has been established for awhile now. wtf.
vertical line will be better
It's a cool symbol, but the one @vinney...axkl is using is easier to write. I like that one more.
no. samekh
Except they're not Bitcoins.
Lemme ask you is there $100 in 1 Dollar?
Sats are the standard. Change it back and keep this train going. No one asked for this. No one uses this. Just you. You just unilaterally decided it. I'm not saying you don't have the right. It's your company. By all means do as you please. But this is confusing as hell and does not clarify or distinguish anything.
It also has the advantage of being in the available unicode set on most machines (because it's a symbol for the Thai Baht, which curiously is divided into 100 "satang"...)
The original โฟ started off as an appropriation of the เธฟ until a proposal was accepted to add โฟ to unicode: 
So we'd just be repeating this process for the lowercase for sats :)
Thai baht - Wikipedia
I accept calling them Bitcoin's if the network consensus updates to allow another division into another 100,000,000 pieces lol.
Wait I got my facts a bit wrong. the ฦ is not associated with the baht. but the overall point remains:
We use ฦ until Unicode adds a "b" with vertical bar, like it did for โฟ
The Thai Baht เธฟ was originally used as the Bitcoin symbol until โฟ was added to Unicode.
We can repeat a similar process, temporarily appropriating ฦ until Unicode adds a lowercase b with a vertical stroke.

๐ค maybe Satoshi was/is Thai... No one ever suspects the Thai... Historically friendly with Japan, too. Hmm. Hmmmmmm ๐ค
$ats would look stupid

How about if people call
1 SAT = 1 Bitcoin
1 sat = 1 square bitcoin = 0.00000001 bitcoin
Will 0.1 โฟ be enough to retire in? Iโm confused
Definitely a better option.
oh, that's lovely
Cash App begs to differ... 
Honor Satoshi: Sats are the standard.

Bitcoins... many, many bitcoins
This whole discussion on 'are those fractions of a bitcoin called bits, sats or just bitcoin' I get it for the newbies, 'Satoshi's are cents?' hmm. 'Is is not some other crypto coin?'
Bits sounds most sensible to me and sats feels nostalgic, but bitcoins? ๐คจ
I image only some whale hodler some day might by accident send me 2000 bitcoin thinking its 2000 sats/bits. Wouldn't that be horrible.
Bits are 100 sats. 312 sats = 3.12 bits = 3 bits and 12 sats.
Which is why bits are also retarded. Currency should have a full unit and a smallest subunit. Nothing else makes sense and we've never done it any other way.
Well... Quarters, nickels, dimes... But I also think bits are retarded. A bit is the smallest unit of data in a computer, which is not equivalent to a unit of value in any sense
So back to cents for its sounds a bit like sats and whenever those smaller units come into play we call then 'naks' from Nakamoto. Or is there any nice bit(there it is again) of the name Nakamoto to take that flows well, sounds fitting for the world to use?
Nakas, moto, kamotos?
In a century a coffee may be 20 naks, a night out with the misses, some 5 star wine and dine makes you spend 1 sat and 300 kamotos?
I LOVE IT
Iโm not saying it couldnโt grow on me with time, but Iโm not sold on it yet ๐
I dont like it either. But I have a sense bitcoin UX specifically, will optimise for userw that are not like us.
๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ
Loving all the responses. I can see sats being called bitcoins and as ngu whole coins will be referred to as Bitcoin, plus they'll be referred to less, like we use trillion but just not as often as smaller denominations
Unit bias FTW
Wtf is wrong with Dorsey? Doesnโt he see that no one want this?
no! he know evy1 in erth want be rich hole-coiner. he new to bitcoin and want save it.
2.1 quadilon bigger den 21 millon so better. all ppl want slice uv MEGGA-pizza. we no starve and we be rich! moon-lambo-bches-gf-botes-hose.
