"There will only be 21 million Bitcoins."

Only those who know Bitcoin know that.

But if tomorrow we stopped calling individual units satoshi, and started calling them bitcoin...

Then we would have 2.1 quadrillion bitcoins.

The scarcity is the same.

It is the mindset that changes.

The name of things matters less than the economic reality.

Yeah that's not super confusing, changing the unit of a thing to the unit of another thing.

Let's call grams kilograms tomorrow. It doesn't matter.

this is the problem, you don't change the meaning of inches, you don't change the meaning of millimetres, you don't change the meaning of minutes or seconds, why change the meaning of an also definite and eternal quantity like a bitcoin

the only possible result of this idiocy is confusion, which is a red flag that the people who are consciously promoting this bullshit are malicious actors

it's all about crazy marketing to line their pockets with fiat ... Grandma and grandpa have read about bitcoin and don't want sats - so the suits try to sell them sats as bitcoin

Imagine being them and thinking Bitcoin is an investment product, rather than money.
