Its time to start thinking in sats
Hey r/Bitcoin, I built a Chrome extension called bitconverter that automatically converts fiat prices on any website into sats (or BTC). It's completely free, no ads or tracking, and was just published in the Chrome Web Store! You can check it out here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bitconverter/kmgcnaobpfofppmgmgfbkdnjjgaainnp Why I built it: I read comments all the time that real adoption will mean we denominate prices everywhere in BTC or sats. I agree and was tired of waiting for someone else to tell me how much things really cost. We know a global bitcoin standard is coming. Every day we get a bit closer (pun intended) and with the speed of this transition accelerating I think this is the perfect time for our community to begin actually thinking about the cost of goods we buy in BTC terms. Block/Square just announced they'll let merchants accept BTC directly at Square terminals later this year. Source: https://squareup.com/us/en/press/block-to-roll-out-bitcoin-payments-on-square Its coming whether everyone else is ready or not. How it works: A tiny content script scans page text for prices like $12.99 or €45. It fetches the live BTC rate from CoinGecko (no API key, no logging). It appends the sats or BTC equivalent right next to the original price — everything happens locally in your browser. No ads, no tracking. Just common sats. You can try it wherever you shop online - Amazon, eBay, even Craigslist. Ratings in the Web Store help general discoverability, but constructive feedback from the community here is what I'm really after. Let's make "how many sats?" the first question we ask whenever we see a price tag. Happy stacking! Evan @ tility labs submitted by /u/TilityLabs [link] [comments]
