No me olvido de #hispano ¡Pido ayuda a los argentinos, cubanos y venezolanos con imaginación que haya por aquí para ayudarme a inventar nombres en español! Premiaré con zaps las mejores ideas ;-)

#sats

5 MILLION ZAPS! Nostr is by far the largest public experiment in Bitcoin payments. To improve UX you need a lot of trial and error, competition, experimentation... to do that you need a large enough user base. Nostr is speeding up the bitcoin payment learning curve inmensely. No other community is doing as much to make bitcoin better for payments. Nowhere else is so much happening so fast.

Some names have been proposed for different denominations of bitcoin for everyday use. One syllable words are preferred. Capital letter symbols for multiples of Bitcoin, lower case for fractions of bitcoin, two letters for fractions of a sat. Many pay homage to the devs and other influences on the creation of Bitcoin. #sats

There will never be more than 21 Nakamotos!

More feedback, more changes! Nothing is final in language ;-)

After taking in some feedback, here's my final proposal. Going all the way to 1/10.000 of a sat!

Here it is for those that wanted millisats and even more decimals. #unit #sats

If we are going to play silly games with the unit debate, I want to play too! Just for fun, here's my proposal for a few multiple and fractional bitcoin unit names. Disclaimer: It's really stupid to try to plan these things top down, people will end up making up all kinds of local, jargon, fun names and use whatever they want no matter what devs think. You can't plan language! Emergent order... @buzzbot 5000

1000 sats = 1 dollar is simple and easy. Eventually 1 sat = 1 dollar will be just as easy to understand. If you have ever lived in a country with broken money, it's amazing how easily people adapt when there is a clear incentive to understand something. Any confusion is short lived when mistakes cost you. The silly denomination debate is completely irrelevant. People learn when they are motivated. Without a reason to learn it does not matter how much you dumb it down... they still won't make any effort.

One syllable bias > unit bias People will adapt to as many unit names as you want to throw out, use whichever is most convenient for each occasion, adapt to changing value of each... even adapt to local usage meaning smtg different. But they will always shorten long names to shorter ones for frequently used words. Often converging one one syllable. "Buck", "clam", "sim", "bean", "bit"... have all been widely used at some point.

El trabajo que está haciendo @GUERRILLA⚡ es espectacular. #hispano https://following.space/d/fyhfyx2olhua?p=473231ff4b99c5a314f364796829e2ce897a6399ed20caddf0f90c73b499379a

In 1800 > 80% of people were extremely poor. In 2023 < 10% of people were extremely poor. The 19th and 20th century have been times of incredible, unprecedented human progress. Increased per-capita wealth and increased population. It's important to understand what made this possible.
