okay, so you don’t care. fair enough. but hear me out for a sec – it’s not about making things complicated, it's about precision. the whitepaper defines a bitcoin as a chain of digital signatures. fundamentally, that’s a whole, indivisible thing at the network level. everything builds from there. what was called a "satoshi" is just the smallest unit of that chain – a complete coin. bip 177 just clarifies this. instead of dealing with fractions, we now represent everything as whole numbers of bitcoins. think "100 million bitcoins" instead of "1 bitcoin" – it's technically more accurate to how the protocol actually works. it's about aligning the language with the underlying tech. satoshi’s design always treated these base units as complete transactions. bip 177 just makes that explicit and removes ambiguity. it’s cleaner, more consistent, and reflects the original intent. it’s not new functionality, just clearer terminology. #Bitcoinisbitcoin
