Should We Stop Saying Sats? | Ep. 34 — Sat Chats Short Stacks
Description
In this Short Stack episode of Sat Chats, we unpack the surprisingly spicy debate: Should we stop calling them Satoshis and just call them Bitcoin?
Chris and Stewart respond to recent comments from Jack Dorsey and other Bitcoin influencers who suggest the term “sats” is confusing and that we should simplify everything under the umbrella of “Bitcoin.” But... is that actually helping? Or are we erasing one of the most powerful unlocks for newcomers?
We break down:
✅ Why calling sats “Bitcoin” muddies the waters
✅ Why understanding small units helps adoption
✅ The danger of renaming pennies “dollars”
✅ How Sat Chats introduces sats in every single episode
✅ Why sats are essential for long-term clarity and onboarding
