Why? What don't you agree with here?
Is it that hard to get that :
"21 million is a number humans can believe in. 2.1 quadrillion is a number theyâll never trust."
As an artist imagine that.
Discussion
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 donât need 2.1 quadrillion âBitcoinsâ to share value with the world.
We already solved that: each of the 21 million Bitcoins is divisible into 100 million sats.
Thatâs 2.1 quadrillion unitsâthe exact same quantity youâre imaginingâbut with the clarity of a finite cap and a clean monetary philosophy.
The point of Bitcoin isnât to feel abundant.
Itâs to be scarce, honest, incorruptible.
Sats give everyone access to that truth without needing to blur the story.
You donât have to own a full Bitcoin.
Owning sats is how you begin to understand valueâpiece by piece, block by block.
Thatâs the discipline. Thatâs the beauty.
And yes, Rothbard said it well:
A sound money doesnât need to be large in numberâit needs to be divisible.
Bitcoin is already divisible enough to serve 8 billion people and more.
No inflation. No rebranding required.
We donât fix perception by rewriting the ledger.
We fix perception by teaching people what value really is.
Thatâs what Bitcoin was made for.
And thatâs 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. Itâs still all just Bitcoins - nothing has changed and itâs 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 donât think sats are worthlessâthey simply havenât had time to learn what sats are.
Because weâre 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.
Thatâs a monumental shift.
But like any new money, it takes time to adjust.
When you travel to a new country, whatâs the first thing you ask?
âHow is this currency structured?â
âOh, 1 euro = 100 cents. Got it.â
Same thing here:
1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats.
You own 0.5 BTC? Thatâs 50 million sats.
Spend them freely. Price things accordingly.
Thatâs not fiat thinkingâthatâs basic math, applied with clarity.
It actually respects Bitcoinâs scarcity and divisibility without diluting its meme.
Sats donât need to be erased or renamed.
They need to be understood, used, and respected.
Itâs not the sats that confuse people.
Itâs the people trying to rebrand Bitcoin mid-cycle because theyâre uncomfortable being late.
The solution isnât to move the decimal point or rename the units.
Itâs to educate, wait, and let people adjustâjust like every currency before it.
If it costs under 1 BTC, show the price in sats.
Simple. Honest. Future-proof.
And yesâsats 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 notesâor my artâwere 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 decimalsâtheyâre 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 thatâs when it clicks:
This is how money was always meant to work.
Yes 8 billion - a typo. I understand what youâre saying but I disagree.
Let me guess, you bought that jpeg with all your bitcoin and now youâre 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 thatâs the full name.
âSatsâ is just the short formâBitcoin-native, culture-born, and protocol-defined.
If Google shows some random shitcoin first, thatâs not a problem with Bitcoin.
Thatâs a problem with Google..
