My Suggestion For The Bitcoin Sats Image

Bitcoiners are having hassle selecting a unanimous selection for the sats image. I’ve seen a number of options with no apparent winner.

I consider I’ve found an emblem that we would all agree on — it appears apparent in hindsight. However wait till you hear the reasoning and symbolism earlier than deciding. Here is the image I’m proposing:

The image is made with a reverse “S” which is like writing a “2” (however not fairly), and a vertical strikethrough, which is sort of a “1.” The quantity two and the one collectively additionally make 21, referencing the 21 million bitcoin laborious provide cap.

The sat image. It is poetically stunning for my part.

What’s extra, it is a vertically-reversed greenback signal, which is representing the anti-dollar, or the dollar-killer. Alternatively, it’s a horizontally-reversed greenback signal (it could possibly’t be each, in any other case it could find yourself flipping again to the greenback signal).

One of the essential issues in regards to the image is that there’s a affordable likelihood that most individuals will naturally agree to make use of it. There was a really fast and overwhelmingly optimistic response to a tweet saying the image, posted below my public Twitter account.

This was a typical response:

And others:

One other Twitterer commented that the reverse “S” and strikethrough can signify the primary and final letters of “Satoshi,” which was attention-grabbing. Others have stated that it comprises components of Knut Svanholm’s “infinity” divided by 21 million meme:

Supply

An precise “2” was urged as an alternative of an “S” however that may look a bit messy when written in entrance of precise numbers, and is unlikely to get as a lot assist as I’ve witnessed with the inverted greenback signal. It additionally doesn’t look pleasing to my eye:

To me, it appears to be like higher with an “S”:

We have already agreed on 21 million bitcoin, or 2.1 quadrillion satoshis — anchoring this Schelling level to a brand new one I believe has an incredible likelihood of success.

Another person urged it appears to be like like an “L2” — becoming as a result of sats are the default unit on the first Layer 2 protocol, the Lightning Community.

It’s additionally essential to think about the convenience and velocity of scripting this image. It solely takes two pen strokes. You solely must elevate the pen as soon as. The extra ornamental the image, the extra annoying it’s to jot down it by hand, after which, it would simply get abbreviated.

I like the concept of reinforcing the 21 million cap “mind virus” each time somebody writes the sats image. No less than for me, it could carry nice satisfaction to jot down it every time.
