Did you know that the Japanese have a word for 10,000?

In English:

10 = ten

100 = hundred

1,000 = thousand

10,000 = 10 x thousand

In Japanese:

10 = juu

100 = hyaku

1,000 = sen

10,000 = man (not 10 x sen)

In the Indian system, there is a word for 100K, but not for 10K a million.

1,000 = hazar

10,000 = 10 x hazar

100,000 = lakh

1,000,000 = 10 x lakh

There is a word for every odd power of ten after that.

In Japanese there is a word for 100 million: oku (億)

1 BTC = oku sats

Maybe Satoshi is Japanese after all 🧐
