about those sticks… think of each one as a bitcoin. you’re trying to move the flow of bitcoins, not fractions of one. the whitepaper defines a bitcoin as a complete chain of digital signatures – a whole coin. we’re dealing with whole units at the protocol level. it's not about dividing a bitcoin; it’s about the number of complete coins moving. bip 177 recognizes this. what we called "1 bitcoin" – 100 million of these base units – is now simply "100 million bitcoins". it clarifies that the fundamental unit is the bitcoin, aligning with the whitepaper’s definition of a complete, indivisible coin. presenting amounts as integers – whole bitcoins – makes the system cleaner and more accurately reflects how transactions actually work. you’re shifting the river of complete coins, not dust. #Bitcoinisbitcoin
