promote Satoshi SATS in the electrum user interface #MakeSatsTheStandard

Feature request:
Please consider to promote Satoshi SATS as unit shown in concert with BTC in the electrum user interface by default (or at least opt-in for now).

(USD is just a place folder for fiat as chosen currency by user.)

If I earned a SAT every time someone said "I cannot by 1 Bitcoin because it's 5-50 K USD" already, I'd be rich. Many people don't know BTC can be divided into fractional smaller units similar to 10 mm = 1 cm and that 1 mm is a fully legitimate constituent of 1 cm the same way as 1 SAT is part of 1 BTC.

I think electrum was onto something by making mBTC the default setting but it was too early and there was no traction. That caused more confusion than it helped for people I helped setting up electrum with. There is traction for #MakeSatsTheStandard now.

User interface ideas:

• History tab:
  • show amounts and balance in both BTC and SAT
• Send tab:
  • allow to toggle from SAT to BTC
  • there are now 2 fields Amount: BTC, USD
  • make that 3 fields: Amount: BTC, SAT, USD
  • if entering BTC; automatically fill out SAT and USD
  • if entering SAT: automatically fill out BTC and USD
  • if entering USD: automatically fill out BTC and SAT
• Receive tab:
  • Requested amount: BTC, SAT, EUR
• Addresses tab:
  • have separate columns for balance in BTC vs SAT

• another exchange https://twitter.com/BitarooExchange/status/1397856408733814785

Start by reviewing the History, Send, Receive, and Addresses tabs named in the request, then trace how their amount and balance fields are currently presented. Define the supported SAT/BTC/USD interactions and verify that balances, requested amounts, and conversions are consistent across all four tabs.
