I will agree that it's a unit of measurement that has outgrown its usefulness for amounts that matter to the average person.

Furthermore, I will conceed that it's an arbitrary construction and that sats are what actually appear in the base code. It's as if we treated Avogadro's number as the "real" unit and small numbers of atoms as fractions thereof. Kind of ridiculous when you think about it that way.

I do think this will be a hard thing to change though. Cultural inertia and all that. Maybe what ends up changing is just people's familiarity and comfort with sats as a unit.

I have to ask though, does your excited nephew understand that you haven't gifted him $8.5 billion equivalent?
