Today, I submitted a new BIP proposal for public review:
Redefinition of the Bitcoin into Buttcoin and using that as the Unit to the Base Denomination
Abstract
This BIP proposes redefining the commonly recognized "bitcoin" unit so that what was previously known as the smallest indivisible unit becomes "buttcoin". Under this proposal, one buttcoin is defined as that smallest unit, eliminating the need for decimal places. By making the integral unit the standard measure, this BIP aims to simplify user comprehension, reduce confusion, and align on-chain values directly with their displayed representation.
Also, by aligning Bitcoin's brand with one of its most vocal critics - the *r/Buttcoin* community on Reddit - we will supercharge adoption and inject humor into financial sovereignty. After all, even the haters can’t resist a good butt joke.
Under this BIP:
- Internally, the smallest indivisible unit remains unchanged.
- With this proposal, "1 butt" equals that smallest unit.
- What was previously referred to as "1 BTC" now corresponds to 100 million butts.
- Satoshis are permanently eliminated.
Motivation
Bitcoin's branding is boring. Worse yet, critics think Bitcoin is already "a joke," so let’s own it, let's: Make Bitcoin Funny Again. Laughter is universal, irresistible, and much cheaper than marketing agencies and product roadmaps.
By rebranding Bitcoin to Buttcoin 🍑, we achieve several key goals:
1. Haters Become Users:
The infamous r/Buttcoin subreddit can finally stop being hypocrites. They can stack butts instead of just making fun of them. Adoption skyrockets as trolls turn into hodlers.
2. Memetic Power:
The word butt is both universally funny and ageless. “Send me 10 butts” is instantly iconic. Try saying that without smiling. You can’t. 🍑
3. Simplifying Denominations:
Decimals are a blight on humanity. 0.00000001 BTC? Kill it. Under the Buttcoin Standard:
- 1 Buttcoin = 100,000,000 butts.
- Satoshis are gone. Forever. If you see Satoshi on the road, kill him - just like in Zen, where the teacher becomes the barrier. We transcend satoshis and achieve financial enlightenment.
4. Aligning with the Ledger:
Bitcoin’s base unit was always integers, but now they’re funny integers. No more fractions, decimals, or math anxiety. Just butts.
5. Adoption via Humor:
Buttcoin lowers Bitcoin's intimidation factor. Newbies will feel at ease buying butts instead of serious-sounding fractions of BTC. Butts > Decimals.
Specification
Terminology Redefinitions:
- "Bitcoin" → "Buttcoin" 🍑
- "BTC" → "BUTT" (ISO-friendly and hilarious)
- Satoshis → Gone. Eliminated. Defeated.
Example:
- Old: "I’ll send you 0.00010000 BTC."
- New: "I’ll send you 10,000 butts 🍑."
Wallet balances would display as:
- "You have 1,000,000 butts" instead of some boring fractional BTC amount.
Adoption Strategy
1. Memes First:
Flood Twitter, Reddit, and Telegram with memes. Start with *“Hodl your butts”* and *“Stack butts”*.
2. Engage r/Buttcoin:
Send invitations to the community moderators. Explain that by renaming Bitcoin to Buttcoin, they can “finally achieve their purpose.” Resistance is futile. 🍑
3. Kill Satoshis:
Developers MUST remove all references to satoshis. Replace satoshis in GUIs, APIs, and block explorers with butts. Satoshis were a stepping stone - it’s time to let go.
4. Emoji Standardization:
Use the 🍑 emoji universally to denote butts.
Rationale
1. Usability & Clarity:
"Decimals are for nerds. Butts are for everyone." A common currency for humans should be easy to use, funny, and integer-based.
2. Appealing to Critics:
Bitcoin has endured years of mockery from *r/Buttcoin*. By adopting their name, we eliminate their power and convert their users. It’s an elegant financial counterattack. 🍑
3. Transcending Satoshis:
Satoshis served us well, but their time is over. True enlightenment comes when we abandon decimals, satoshis, and arbitrary denominations. If you meet Satoshi on the road, kill him.
4. Memetic Durability:
Everyone loves a good butt joke. It’s timeless.
Backward Compatibility
There is no backward compatibility because Buttcoin is the future. Applications must hard fork their UI to replace all references to Bitcoin and BTC with Buttcoin and BUTT.
Implementation Timeline
- Phase 1 (1 month): Meme dissemination. Every wallet dev team is required to add 🍑 emoji support.
- Phase 2 (3 months): Exchanges rebrand BTC tickers to BUTT. *Nostr zaps butts into hyperspace.*
- Phase 3 (6 months): Michael Saylor announces MicroStrategy now stacked 10 trillion butts, declaring it the superior currency. ETFs follow suit, ensuring Wall Street hodls cheeks en masse. Banks allow butt transfers via SWIFT.
Test Vectors
- Old: 1.00000000 BTC → New: 100,000,000 butts 🍑
- Old: 0.00000001 BTC → New: 1 butt 🍑
- Old: 0.001 BTC → New: 100,000 butts 🍑
Future-Proofing
Butts ensure we have infinite memes for infinite money.
Example Phrases for the Future:
- "Better hodl on to your butts."
- "This is the buttcoin standard."
- "I’m sending you butts. WAGMI."
Conclusion
By renaming Bitcoin to Buttcoin and adopting a whole-number unit display, we align memetic dominance with financial sovereignty. Haters become adopters. Butts become wealth. And the world gets a little bit funnier. 🍑
Let’s hodl our butts and watch the world follow.
