In a BIP proposal from December 2024, Carvalho advocated for redefining the 100 million satoshis that make up one Bitcoin as simply 'Bitcoin.' For instance, a transaction currently displayed as 0.00010000 BTC would appear as 10,000 BTC under the new system, fundamentally altering the perception of 'Bitcoin millionaires.'

This proposal quickly sparked debate. Critics mockingly referred to the 'pizza theory,' suggesting that if each slice of pizza were called a 'whole,' one would need to order eight 'wholes' to satisfy their needs, highlighting the absurdity of unit inflation. Many community members are concerned that expanding the total from 21 million to 2.1 trillion units could undermine the narrative of Bitcoin's scarcity.
