If you measure prices in sats, things become cheaper over time.

If you measure prices in bitcoin sats instead of fiat , you start to see something interesting , prices go down over time. This is because Bitcoin has a fixed supply, while fiat  is constantly being printed and losing purchasing power. In a fiat system, prices rise over time. In a Bitcoin standard, measured in sats, goods and services become cheaper as productivity improves.

Question here is why anyone would prefer measuring BTC in sats when compared to FIAT currencies. Sats isn't exactly as popular as the Euro, Dollar etc and it's not that easy converting all the time which is why most people prefer measuring BTC in FIAT.

Hybrid strategy makes more sense here where you measure BTC in sats and only convert into FIAT whenever necessary despite them continuously losing their purchasing power.

What happens when the price of Bitcoin drops? The price of goods and services will go up. During the bull season, when the price of Bitcoin is high, the purchasing power increases. But we start experiencing a decline when the price drops over time. However, I am not disputing the fact that the incessant printing of fiat makes it lose value, while the fixed supply of Bitcoin is a strong advantage.

If we think about it the way you think, it is true that if we calculate the price using (sat), then in the long run, productivity growth, technological improvements, and the limited supply of Bitcoin work together to make the product look relatively cheap.

But you know that Bitcoin fluctuates in price in the short term, so if we calculate the market price using (sat), sometimes the price of the product we buy will be much higher than its normal price.

This is good, but would bring more complications to being able to purchase goods and services with bitcoin because goods and services naturally has fiat value and the equivalents in bitcoin is paid, so when we started measuring it in sats value, would we still enforcement measurement of the worth of good and services in sats value to complement it?

I don't find this very helpful, sorry. There's no need complicating financial dealing involving bitcoin some more since it is the standard that the worth of good and services are measure in fiat, let its equivalents value be exchanged in bitcoin.

You are right, but as there are different countries in the world, do you know that this will still cause problem? This is because each countries will not be able to control inflation and the money in their foreign reserves of many countries will all be spend and which can lead to economic collapse. I assume that fiat is not spent in this scenario because if fiat is spent, the government are still in control.

Yeah could be like that if they are eager to accumulate Bitcoin, but if they are doubting on the price and think its expensive maybe there's nothing will happen even if they want Bitcoin.

Fear of buying expensive piece may occur and maybe they think its hard to afford the current price of Bitcoin because they think the current one they see is so expensive.

But if those investors just know they can buy fractions, maybe with that they can focus to accumulate consistently and they can deal with any price changes that will happen in the market.

And that's why they won't do it because then they would lose the power to inflate prices whenever they feel like. The plan has never been to see the citizens comfortable, it's to give them a false sense of comfort whereby goods one purchases before at $1 assuming, they'd increase it to $5 and then later drop it to $3 but the quality might not be the same but instead of complaining that the product is not as it was when it was introduced to the market, but price has increased, people will focus on the fact that it has reduced in price first, before thinking of quality later.

I see it oppositely, as satoshi has higher value over time just like bitcoin has higher value and price on the market over years.

With same $100 as a budget for buying bitcoin/ satoshi, there has been less bitcoin/ satoshis you can buy, so the purchasing power of fiat currencies against bitcoin/ satoshi has decline dramatically over years. In the other words, the purchasing power of bitcoin/ satoshi has soared over time.

Thinking about value in sats is an excellent way of thinking about how to decrease your need to consume things.
When you know that the car you are going to buy today is going to be the most valuable piece of iron in a few years, you start questioning your investment choices.
Bitcoin is ecological, as you don't want to buy useless things.

If we measure prices in bitcoin sats, do goods and services actually become cheaper in our brain or in real life. To me, I don't ever have that feeling of goods becoming cheap. What I do is sometimes, I'll convert my holdings to sats and begin to feel like a real life millionaire

It might be easier tto measure the price but it doesn't make it any cheaper. The price of bitcoin against USD and fiat in general is highly volatile and expensive when we calculate per coin. So using stats might be close to the real world scenario if bitcoin ever accepted as payment mode in your local grocery store.

[Churchillvv]

Yes your right but however in reality of life which we have to face you can’t measure bitcoin with sats as reality hits differently, so people prefer to be in reality than in the illusion of sats which is why the fact that bitcoin decreases in price when it comes to sats measurement it use is not considered. Would you like to convince your self that the price is lower when you already know that with the current situation in reality it’s much higher? Of course no one will be willing to do such.

Bro, you are only looking at the bright side here. What if the price of BTC starts to go down? Would you still make money over time, and would you still prefer BTC over fiat? The biggest issue so far in using BTC as a payment method is its volatility. People used to fear that their $10 payment could turn into $7 or $5 if the market dumped a lot. Nowadays it does not dump like that, but still the fear of losing value due to dumps is real, especially when you have to run a business for the long term.

If you want to invest in Bitcoin with the aim of holding it for the long term, then bro you don't have to use the BTC payment option because you can easily convert your fiat into BTC and invest as much as you want. But if you want to give this option to increase your customers, then that's a good motive and it will work too.

[Jewan420]

There is no relationship between price increase or decrease through the use of sats.
If the price of a product is taken as 1 sats, then it will be 1 sats, when it is taken as 2 sats, we can say that the price has increased, if it decreases, we can say that the price has decreased.

But you are still using sats as a standard with the dollar. If so, then you will be in constant dilemma due to the volatility of Bitcoin.

I believe it's also because the price of Bitcoin is increasing, becoming more expensive. But if over time it's dumping, for sure, you can't say things like this.
As you can see, since Bitcoin, we have seen how huge a return Bitcoin has already gained, which is why. Basically, this is good though, we start practicing using sats instead of cents - Bitcoin standard.

Frankly speaking, i do not see any sense in what you just said. because even if we measure price in bitcoin sats it still won't automatically make price of goods cheaper as you think. I understand that when the value of bitcoin increases over time number of sats that will be needed to buy something could fall or decrease. let's assume that a cell phono is said to be sold at 1,000,000 sats, if bitcoin price double while the price of the phone stays the same in dollar, the phone may later cost 500,000 sats. Many people have thought this way, but i don't think it is guarantee.

Will you rather die out of hunger to hold bitcoin to $10 million? Of course not. Humans have a time preference that is always positive, and you would rather consume / get things now more than to have them in the future.

Bitcoin restores this internal calculation people have done throughout history, and it is this particular calculation that allows for long-term thinking, which is what eventually leads to civilization. Without long-term thinking, we go extinct.

Yeah, Bitcoin is important.

Just remember that just HODLING is not very good for Bitcoin.
Think what would have happened if Hal, Laszlo, Gavin, Sirius, and all the other OG's hadn't spent their satoshi and held instead. Bitcoin would be worthless.
Just remember to use Bitcoin.

To measure prices in Sats has a huge effect on how an investor comes to perceive the relationship between consumption spending and time itself, because if one were to know that the price of a current item would cost less if priced in Sats perhaps next year, ones scale of preference would change to account for only what's needed in the immediate moment.

This causes fiat currency which is always subject to forced inflation and artificial scarcity, to become a lesser alternative to Bitcoin, which of course makes measuring prices in Sats, much more accurate about a structured deflation and assurance of wealth because things become cheaper when bought at the right time.
