💥John Carvalho proposes to eliminate 'satoshi', remove the decimal point of Bitcoin
In the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) published in December 2024, John Carvalho - CEO of Synonym argues that eliminating the term 'satoshi' and removing the decimal point by converting satoshi to bitcoin would provide dual benefits: making Bitcoin easier to understand and eliminating unit bias, both of which are key to attracting new users.
For example, 0.00010000 BTC would be displayed as 10,000 $BTC . This proposal has faced opposition from many due to concerns about disrupting the scarcity of Bitcoin.
What do you think about this proposal?
