Canada eliminated the penny in 2013

It disappeared not because we stopped needing money, but because fiat money stopped holding value at that scale.

The cost to produce a penny was more than its purchasing power

This is what inflation does, it makes your smallest units irrelevant… and then comes for the rest. It’s not just about rising prices it’s about the slow dismantling of the measuring unit.

Australia also phased out the 2 cent coin in 1992. Nickels are next, then dimes and eventually dollars.

While fiat currencies eliminate small units due to inflation, Bitcoin needs smaller units

1 bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats

1 sat = 1,000 msats

There can never be more than 21,000,000 bitcoin

You don’t inflate the supply, you subdivide it!

Don't wait for your money to collapse to understand what went wrong.

Learn from the past.

Opt out, choose bitcoin
