Do you want to convince 8 billion people that we need to share 21 million bitcoins?

Personally, I can more trust that we can divide 2.1 quadrillion Bitcoins and they will still be worth that much and still be divisible.

Precisely because I am an artist I can imagine it possible.

To me, 21 million seems like a coin for the few.

You don’t need 2.1 quadrillion “Bitcoins” to share value with the world.

We already solved that: each of the 21 million Bitcoins is divisible into 100 million sats.

That’s 2.1 quadrillion units—the exact same quantity you’re imagining—but with the clarity of a finite cap and a clean monetary philosophy.

The point of Bitcoin isn’t to feel abundant.

It’s to be scarce, honest, incorruptible.

Sats give everyone access to that truth without needing to blur the story.

You don’t have to own a full Bitcoin.

Owning sats is how you begin to understand value—piece by piece, block by block.

That’s the discipline. That’s the beauty.

And yes, Rothbard said it well:

A sound money doesn’t need to be large in number—it needs to be divisible.

Bitcoin is already divisible enough to serve 8 billion people and more.

No inflation. No rebranding required.

We don’t fix perception by rewriting the ledger.

We fix perception by teaching people what value really is.

That’s what Bitcoin was made for.

And that’s why we defend the meme.

Yes and many of those 8 million people think 1 bitcoin is too expensive and that a sat is just another shitcoin. And that hurts adoption.

Satoshi himself even said just move the decimal point - no mention of sats or anything else. It’s still all just Bitcoins - nothing has changed and it’s still a scare, fixed supply. And exactly! No rebranding is required and that includes sats or anything else.

Bottom line: Sats has only come about because of the fixed fiat mindset.

Be different.

You mean 8 billion, not 8 million.

And many of them don’t think sats are worthless—they simply haven’t had time to learn what sats are.

Because we’re just now entering the era of real Bitcoin usage.

For years, Bitcoin was mostly held, not spent.

Now? People are paying for burgers with Lightning.

Bitcoin is finally being used at the speed of life.

That’s a monumental shift.

But like any new money, it takes time to adjust.

When you travel to a new country, what’s the first thing you ask?

“How is this currency structured?”

“Oh, 1 euro = 100 cents. Got it.”

Same thing here:

1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats.

You own 0.5 BTC? That’s 50 million sats.

Spend them freely. Price things accordingly.

That’s not fiat thinking—that’s basic math, applied with clarity.

It actually respects Bitcoin’s scarcity and divisibility without diluting its meme.

Sats don’t need to be erased or renamed.

They need to be understood, used, and respected.

It’s not the sats that confuse people.

It’s the people trying to rebrand Bitcoin mid-cycle because they’re uncomfortable being late.

The solution isn’t to move the decimal point or rename the units.

It’s to educate, wait, and let people adjust—just like every currency before it.

If it costs under 1 BTC, show the price in sats.

Simple. Honest. Future-proof.

And yes—sats are not an altcoin.

They are Bitcoin.

Just closer to the ground where the people live.

Personally, I started to respect sats when I joined Nostr.

Suddenly my notes—or my art—were zapped by strangers with sats.

Sometimes 50. Sometimes 5.

And it meant something.

It gave me joy.

It taught me that sats are not just decimals—they’re signals of appreciation, participation, and value exchange.

When you start experiencing sats, your perspective shifts.

You stop thinking in fiat fragments and start feeling Bitcoin.

And that’s when it clicks:

This is how money was always meant to work.

Yes 8 billion - a typo. I understand what you’re saying but I disagree.

Let me guess, you bought that jpeg with all your bitcoin and now you’re sour

If you search for sats on Google, all first results are about a shitcoin.

Grok knows sats. So does OpenAI. First thing DuckDuckGo shows? The exchange rate of satoshis. Because that’s the full name.

‘Sats’ is just the short form—Bitcoin-native, culture-born, and protocol-defined.

If Google shows some random shitcoin first, that’s not a problem with Bitcoin.

That’s a problem with Google..
