From a physics standpoint, I agree with the rationale behind standardizing Bitcoin units at the quantum level. We need to do better.

In my work calculating Bitcoin’s Block Temperature, Block Energy, and Cumulative Chain Energy in joules, I’ve been using satoshis; what you’re proposing to formalize as “bitcoin” at the scale of 1 × 10⁻⁸ BTC.

A quantum, by definition, is the smallest indivisible unit of measurement in any domain. Anchoring Bitcoin’s denomination system around this principle is most logical. It mirrors how we treat all units in physics.

Given that we already use metric prefixes (milli, centi, kilo, etc.) for quantities like hashrate, power, and energy, it would be helpful to me to have the same standard for my calculations. This would make Bitcoin unitization consistent with established physical systems and simplify precision when modeling Bitcoin’s thermodynamics.

Right now the language is messy and we need a standard.
