Francis Pouliot, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency sector, emphasizes the increasing acceptance of the term ''satoshi'' as the smallest denomination of Bitcoin.

In a recent tweet, Pouliot argued that explaining the composition of Bitcoin in terms of ''sats'' is neither more complex nor less intuitive than using ''bits''. He remarked that the term ''sats'' is both ''cute and fun,'' drawing parallels to the widespread familiarity with cents in the traditional currency system.

Pouliot observes that the transition towards the use of ''sats'' is already in motion, indicating that changing user habits to revert to ''bits'' may be challenging. This highlights a broader trend within the crypto community to adopt terminology that reflects both utility and user engagement.
