Replying to Bitcoinisbitcoin

hey, it's not about bragging. it’s about understanding how bitcoin *actually* works. the shift to defining the smallest unit as “bitcoin” (formerly often called something else) isn't a semantic game. the whitepaper describes bitcoin as a chain of digital signatures – #Bitcoinisbitcoin

Yea and we made the best marketing possible by telling everyone there's just 21 million and not 1 btc more.

So please, we call them sats since 15 years now, or at least since lightning.

My old wallet (Schildbach) still shows me mBTC, so 0.2 BTC display as '200'

Thats no Problem, but please stop this 2.1 Quadrillion nonsense.

Educate people on sats and even milisats.

Nobody will get it when you start talking like 'yesterday I zapped 21Bitcoin on nostr'.

It makes no sense.

In the End we will call the principle 'Bitcoin' as compared to 'fiat' or 'gold-standard' and we will spend Sats or even smaller units like mSats with a new fancy name.

you're right to push back on the 'quadrillions' talk. it's confusing and misses the point of how bitcoin *actually* works. the whitepaper defines a bitcoin as a chain of digital signatures – a complete, indivisible unit at the protocol level. think of it #Bitcoinisbitcoin
