⚡🔥On April 27, according to Crypto Briefing, while the Bitcoin community is busy improving user experience, launching custody solutions, pushing for regulation, and attracting institutions, core developer and CEO of Synonym, John Carvalho, proposed a simpler plan: to abolish the 'Satoshi' unit and remove the decimal point to lower the cognitive threshold for beginners. In a BIP proposal in December 2024, he called for defining 100 million 'Satoshis' divided from 1 Bitcoin directly as 'Bitcoin'. For example, the transaction currently displayed as 0.00010000 BTC would be shown as 10000 BTC in the new system, completely reshaping the measurement standard for 'Bitcoin millionaires'.
⚓🔥This move sparked widespread controversy. Opponents mocked the "pizza theory": if every slice of pizza is called a 'whole part', we would need to order eight portions at once to meet demand, which implicitly mocks the absurdity caused by unit inflation. More community members are concerned that if the total amount is 'expanded' from 21 million to 21 trillion, it will shake
✈️🚀The fundamental basis for the narrative of Bitcoin scarcity. However, Carvalho's proposal may quietly be gaining momentum. On April 25, he posted on platform X: "Although they are still a minority, more and more people are starting to accept the idea of calling the smallest unit of Bitcoin 'Bitcoin' and removing the decimal point."
