Arman The Parman, a Bitcoin educator passionate about privacy, is proposing a new symbol to represent the sats. The symbol is made up of a reverse “S” and vertical strikethrough to represent the 21 million Bitcoin hard supply cap. The reverse “S” and strikethrough together also make 21, referencing the 21 million Bitcoin hard supply cap. The symbol is a vertically-reversed dollar sign, representing the anti-dollar, or the dollar-killer. This is an attempt to create a universally agreed upon symbol for the sats.
The response to the proposed symbol has been overwhelmingly positive. People have expressed that it is a beautiful and poetic solution to the problem of finding a symbol for the sats. Some have also suggested that the reverse “S” and strikethrough represent the first and last letters of “Satoshi.” Additionally, others have noted that the symbol contains elements of Knut Svanholm’s “infinity” divided by 21 million meme.
The symbol is also practical. An actual “2” was suggested instead of an “S” but that can look a little messy when written in front of actual numbers, and is unlikely to get as much support as the inverted dollar sign. The author believes that this symbol is the most likely to be accepted unanimously because it is visually pleasing and has meaningful symbolism.
The symbol proposed by Arman The Parman is a creative and meaningful solution to the sats symbol problem. It is a symbol that is both aesthetically pleasing and has meaningful symbolism, making it a likely candidate for the unanimous choice for the sats symbol.
