Are these people crazy?!
Turning 21 million bitcoin into 2.1 quadrillion “bitcoins” isn’t just bad branding—it completely nukes the most important meme in Bitcoin’s history.
This isn’t just a bad idea.
It’s a recipe for confusion, dilution, and long-term cultural fragmentation.
We’ve spent 15 years building absolute clarity around one of the strongest memes in monetary history:
21 million Bitcoin. 100 million satoshis each.
Simple. Elegant. Untouchable.
And now, right on the edge of global adoption—now—they want to rewrite the script?
This doesn’t feel like UX optimization.
It feels like a narrative hijack.
A subtle takeover—not of the protocol, but of how people think about Bitcoin.
And that’s just as powerful.
Maybe I’m paranoid.
But changing the unit, the name, and the supply right before mass onboarding doesn’t just feel tone-deaf—it feels strategic.
Like rewriting the map while millions are just beginning to find their way.
I’ve never heard anything more short-sighted, more dangerous, or more fundamentally disconnected from what makes Bitcoin work.
It’s not a UI bug.
It’s a memetic monument.
You don’t demolish it for clicks, smooth UX, or vanity campaigns.
You protect it—because mass adoption is coming.
And what people adopt must be the truth, not a convenient lie wrapped in “accessibility.”

“Stay humble and stack sats”
It’s hard to change Bitcoin Core, which is a feature not a bug.
On to more important subjects and fights. Enough drama.
Respectfully, you’re missing the red flag here.
BIP-177 isn’t a protocol-level proposal—it’s an informational BIP. That means it bypasses consensus entirely. It’s not about changing Bitcoin Core. It’s about changing how wallets and exchanges display Bitcoin—by redefining 1 satoshi as 1 “bitcoin” in the UI.
That’s what makes it dangerous. It targets perception, not protocol.
And now that Jack Dorsey—a wallet manufacturer with massive reach—is backing it, you start to see the full picture. This isn’t about software constraints. It’s about steering the narrative, quietly, through design.
That’s not drama. That’s strategy. And we’d be naive to ignore it.
now we are seeing them adapting the strategy of funding front ends at the expense of reasonable back ends that they were testing on nostr
fuckin megalomaniacs
also john carvalho is a fucking midwit hipster moron who knows nothing about protocols or rigorous logic
But he got traction and Dorsey's attention so the thing is kinda taking off to some degree.
dorsey has just spent the last of his reputation on this, i hope he enjoys becoming steadily more irrelevant
What is the future of this? Do you think exchanges might start switching to 2.1 quadrillion bitcoin at $ 0.001 per btc narrative and display?
