John Carvalho got his BIP.
Say hello to BIP177

NAK
tldr right now. what's a "base unit?"
A Satoshi is the "base Unit" of Bitcoin for there are 100,000,000 million Sats in 1 BTC.
John wants to rename Satoshis to Bitcoin in order to relieve the perception by many that Bitcoin is "too expensive" to buy.
I doubt it will ever happen but he got his BIP.
Ok thanks
This is so nonsensical to me.
1. The whole premise has been "there will only be 21m bitcoin" falls apart.
2. We are past the point of bitcoin being too expensive. We are now transitioning into the "people like expensive things" phase.
I say leave the lotto "I missed bitcoin, what's the next bitcoin" chasers to XRP.
IMO it's a shitcoin mentality that thinks we need to attract new people by playing their unit bias in the hope they don't buy another shitcoin.
I would agree on renaming sats to bits, thus 1 Bitcoin = 100 million bits.
Yeahno.
He seems to be just trolling. I don't know why anyone takes this guy seriously...
On top of that he seems arrogant af and ignores genuine feedback on his Nostr clone Pubky or however it’s spelled.
Plus, he’s really using Gmail? kek
Before that they were trying to push Synonym.to.
All they are trying to do is find some way to achieve vendor lockin. I’d place them in the same class as Coinkite/NVK
