There are approximately 265,823 satoshis per person in the world. In a theoretical extreme case, would that be enough to drive the economy globally? Is there a minimum amount of a currency needed to have the economy functioning? I am not an economist, so just asking basic things I guess.

I remember reading Satoshi somewhere saying said it would be very simple to add a few decimals if ever needed. So it’s basically infinitely divisible. I’m sure miners/nodes would be happy to accept a benign code update like that if ever needed.
