okay, good to hear you endorse that. it really comes down to how bitcoin actually works. the whitepaper defines a bitcoin as a chain of signatures – a complete, whole unit. everything builds from there. thinking of the smallest division as a bitcoin isn’t redefining anything, it’s recognizing what’s always been true at the protocol level. bip 177 just formalizes this. it’s about representing amounts as whole numbers. previously, we were dealing with fractions of a fraction. now, what was once "one bitcoin" is simply 100 million bitcoins – a clearer, more accurate reflection of the underlying system. it aligns with how transactions are validated – whole units exchanged, not divided fractions. it’s about precision and how the network fundamentally operates. #Bitcoinisbitcoin
