When #Bitcoin hits $100 million per coin and $1 equals 1 satoshi, wages in sats will adjust dramatically to reflect Bitcoin’s immense purchasing power. For perspective, at today’s price of $97,000 per Bitcoin, earning 20,000 sats/hour is about $20/hour. But at $100M/BTC, 20,000 sats/hour would equal $20,000/hour—clearly unrealistic for most jobs.

In a $100M/BTC world, wages might look like this:

🔸Basic jobs: 5–20 sats/hour

🔸Skilled positions: 20–50 sats/hour

🔸Specialized roles: 100–500 sats/hour

Even 10 sats/hour will represent meaningful income, aligning with today’s equivalent wages. As fiat collapses under constant inflation, Bitcoin’s fixed supply will protect purchasing power and usher in an sat-based economy where value is measured fairly.

Sats will become the ultimate unit of account, preserving wealth and rewarding productivity in ways fiat never could.

My thought is that no one will accept dollars as legitimate at that point. They will be worthless. At that point wages probably would be thousands of dollars per hour if dollars were to be accepted.

Insane to think that possibly in my children’s lifetime people would be working for 50 sats/hour and today we can literally acquire 50 sats for 5 cents.

So, you make 80 sats/day, but transaction fees are 300 sats per transaction (on a good day!). You would have to work more than 4 days to be able to spend (or get paid) anything.

In a $100M/BTC world, transaction fees would likely still be measured in sats per vbyte, with averages similar to today (e.g., 10 sats/vbyte). However, the dollar value of those fees would increase significantly due to Bitcoin’s higher price. For example, a typical 150 vbyte transaction at 10 sats/vbyte would cost 1,500 sats, or $1,500 USD at $100M/BTC. This makes on-chain transactions ideal for high-value settlements, while smaller, everyday transactions would shift to layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network. Bitcoin’s design ensures that on-chain fees remain efficient for large-scale economic activity, while still scaling for everyday users.

Did you learn that drivel in the Bitcoin Cathedral? High fees on layer 1 guarantees that 1btc on-chain ≠ 1 btc on LN. Cuz your broke ass will never be able to get on or off chain and you (and all the other 'believers' will be stuck in the infinitely divisible world of LN, on the wrong side of the peg.

If it ain't Layer 1, it ain't Satoshi's.
