So embarrassing. Not sure how much of a fool he made of himself.

Huh? No im saying Jack Dorsey is not an influencer he is a hacker
Oh. So, you support this retarded BIP177 bullshit?
No. Idc what the heck you guys call it… my friends literally referred to them by their rounded float integer (and still do to this day) and we do that because it’s cross compatible… math, the same in every language
What we’re trying to do is figure out a way to define a unit of weight which is bitcoin
We invested a unit and we need agreeable terms for it so that when Jack Dorsey implements a point of sale system in LA and I implement a point of sale system in Chicago we know what the hell eachother are talking about so we can regurgitate it to the accountants and retail business owners who will expect us to be able to define these things
*invented a weight, not invested
I hope you realize how stupid this argument is. A sat is a sat.
Okay well then you explain it to the restaurant owner 👋
Do you not get it? 1 sat is divisible into smaller fractions. Just like how 1 dollar is divisible into cents. Simple... right?
😑 thank you for explaining
Why wouldn't a restaurant owner understand that?
Is a Satoshi the smallest divisible unit? Or can it be infinitely divisible at the L2?
Lightning has millisats
A Satoshi is the smallest divisible unit of Bitcoin on the base layer (Layer 1). One Bitcoin is equal to 100,000,000 Satoshis, and you cannot go smaller than a Satoshi on the Bitcoin blockchain itself—this is hardcoded into the protocol.
Layer 1 (Base Layer)
• Minimum unit: 1 Satoshi (0.00000001 BTC)
• Not infinitely divisible — any smaller division would require a protocol-level change (which would be extremely difficult and controversial).
⸻
Layer 2 (e.g., Lightning Network)
On Layer 2, things are more flexible. Some L2 protocols may represent or use fractions of a Satoshi in their internal accounting:
• The Lightning Network, for example, allows the use of millisatoshis (msat) — where:
• 1 sat = 1,000 msat
• This enables finer granularity for routing fees and payments.
So while the base layer is not infinitely divisible, Layer 2 solutions can allow sub-satoshi units through their own internal systems.
Thank you!
