2. ETH uses ฮž . the similarity to the ultimate shitcoin is too much for me 3. and this 'sats symbol' isn't a made up convention? it's all made up, we're making it all up. we've got a chance to make something up that a wider audience will be able to recognize. you really don't think that lowercasing a subunit doesn't have an immediate rationale to it, even for the uninitiated? besides, the convention isn't *entirely* novel: in computing, bytes are B, bits are b. chemistry: m vs M (molal vs molar concentration) math: p vs P (probability value vs measure)

I'm just saying if we're making it all up, you can't pretend like lower casing is some kind of well-known convention for currency subunits, when it really isn't. I get the rationalle of it, but it's not convincing. A b will cause more confusion, because it's unclear what it stands for? "Bits"? "Bats"? Sats are absolutely not bitcoins (boo BIP-177 ๐Ÿ‘Ž), and the symbol for it shouldn't even hint that way. Besides, we have a symbol for sats, and it's an interesting, beautiful, meaningful and unique one. ๐Ÿ˜
