When talking to friends and family about it and helping them self custody as well setting their weekly dca, it's been helpful to convey to them that they're saving bits of a bitcoin. I can see their wheels turn a lot faster as this verbiage makes their savings goal clearer vs when I explain this using sats instead.
Letting them know that they can aim for a savings rate of 3,000 bits of a bitcoin every week (example) feels much clearer IMO. (without the decimal point)
Give people the option on exchanges as well as wallets (phoenix wallet has bits) and then let folks decide. All I’m saying is let bits get in the ring. 🙌🏾
For the dozen or so normies I’ve been lucky to have listen to me setting up their nodes, bitkeys, cold cards etc, while they get sats and go on with their lives, the ones I’ve tried saving bits of bitcoin on, they REALLY got it and it made sense to them that bits are a smaller amount of a bitcoin because the link between the two words is just a shorter jump to make.
I got no prob with sats. I’d be happy if wallets and exchanges considered bits as another option and then let the normie free market decide.
