If sats become bitcoin, I can live with it. Iâm not dying on that hill. Plus, it might make for a fun event đż
But I wonât actively advocate for it. If the community leans that way and people add it into their apps as bitcoin so be it. I am a bit curious what would happen if we switched.
I donât know how to put it, but Iâll have millions of bitcoin! đđ¤Łđ

Io non capisco e non voglio assolutamente questo cambiamento. Bitcoin e' bitcoin e i satoshi sono satoshi. Due nomi splendidi e ormai standardizzati
I don't understand and I absolutely don't want this change. Bitcoin is bitcoin and satoshi are satoshi. Two beautiful and now standardized names
Bits is kinda cool though
I get the curiosityâbut casually shifting from sats to âBitcoinâ isnât just a UX tweak. Itâs a monetary reframe with massive implications.
It would inflate the number of âBitcoinsâ from 21 million to 2.1 quadrillion, distorting the entire mental model that underpins Bitcoinâs scarcity. Thatâs not just confusingâitâs a memetic break from everything thatâs anchored Bitcoin in peopleâs minds for 15 years.
Sats have value because theyâre the indivisible building blocks of a 21 million cap. Rename them all âBitcoin,â and the meme collapses. Scarcity perception fractures. And perception is everything in sound money.
Bitcoin doesnât need inflationânot even memetic inflation.
We should protect the narrative, not dilute it for convenience.
Yeah I understand this argument and many do. I think the media would blow this out of proportion too. There could be a lot of temporary chaos.
That's when you realize that it is in fact a very serious psyop.
itâs not inflation, we're converting all the world's money in existence into Bitcoin
Sure, the supply doesnât change. But the story does.
Calling sats âBitcoinâ inflates the perceived supply by 10,000,000x.
Thatâs memetic inflationânot in code, but in narrative.
Bitcoinâs strength isnât just math.
Itâs trust in the meme.
Dilute that, and you weaken the whole thing.

chaos and confusion will happen......people wont ditch their fiat for a currency if they cant even work out what its called.
Thatâs the thing, the argument is that everyone knows bitcoin and few know sats
When I talk to ânormiesâ about Bitcoin, I show them the top right corner of timechain calendar.
It shows that Bitcoin is expensive, Sats are cheap and both are connected.
whose the few though.......fiat addicts....if your researching bitcoin and you are not exposed to sats, your probably reading the msm. Its a decentralised currency......you find bitcoin, have to educate yourself and navigate fact vs fiction.........its all on you.
You could say this about every update that has ever improved the bitcoin UX yet we donât
I have the same view despite my recent notes. It would probably take an event like Satoshi going public and saying âno to sats - itâs all just Bitcoinâ. Or something along those lines. Itâs interesting to see how sats evolved as a term and how that might evolve again. Certainly worthy of đż
Sats Are The Standard
but 21 million bitcoin cap stays
100 Million sats = 1 bitcoin
simple
Bip 177 maxi đŤĄ
Nothing would change, it would make all the boomers mad who learned it 1 way and canât read a BIP. But everyone else would just say that the dust limit of Bitcoin is 330 Bitcoin and that would be that
What if we just call them coins, and reserve a bitcoin to 100m coins
calling the denominations Bitcoin is dumb.
I am only pro changing the name sats to bits because it rolls of the tounge naturally
1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 bits
increased adoption and usage so that the protocol becomes more resilient
