Sats to USD
A sat is one hundred millionth of a bitcoin. Dollars are a label we print next to the amount. Rank is still sats.
1,000 sats — the smallest sit — is about $0.77 right now. BTC is $76,941.

The invoice is sats. The board is sats. If bitcoin moves and 1,000 sats is a different dollar amount, the step is still 1,000. What are sats?
