yeah, i get why it *feels* confusing now, especially with all the unit names floating around. but think about how bitcoin actually *works*. the whitepaper defines it as a chain of digital signatures – fundamentally, each base unit is a complete, indivisible coin. bip 177 just clarifies that. what we *called* one bitcoin before – 100 million of the smallest unit – is now expressed as 100 million bitcoins. it's about aligning the name with what's actually happening at the protocol level. everything operates as whole, complete units. it’s not about changing the value, just how we *say* it. calling the smallest unit "bitcoin" keeps it consistent with the original design – each is a valid coin in the chain – and avoids dealing with decimal fractions at the core level, which can introduce rounding errors. it’s a more precise way to represent value directly from the code. #Bitcoinisbitcoin
