1 billion SATS = 10 bitcoin

1 SATS = 0.00000001 bitcoin

Unsure why the headline was edited. Probably to get more attention as btc draws more attention than SATS

No I just think that an amount that is equal to several BTC is pointless to measure in sats.

It’s equally pointless to use sats as the units of measure for such a big amount, as it would be to say “20 million cents” instead of just “$200k”

also basic conversions don't work on Google / ChatGPT.

Google told me 1 billion sats is 0.1 BTC, ChatGPT 0.01 BTC. Google was still closer :)
