#BTC April 27 news, according to Crypto Briefing, while the Bitcoin community is busy optimizing user experience, launching custody solutions, lobbying regulators, and courting institutions, core developer and CEO of Synonym, John Carvalho, proposed a simpler solution: abolish the 'satoshi' unit and remove the decimal point to lower the cognitive barrier for newcomers. In the BIP proposal for December 2024, he advocates directly defining the 100 million 'satoshis' that make up one Bitcoin as 'Bitcoin'; for example, a transaction currently displayed as 0.00010000 BTC would show as 10,000 BTC in the new system, completely reshaping the measure of 'Bitcoin millionaires'.

This move quickly sparked controversy. Opponents ridiculed it with the 'pizza theory': if each slice of pizza is called a 'whole', one would need to order eight whole pizzas at once to meet the demand, satirizing the absurdity brought by unit inflation. More community members are concerned that if the total supply expands from 21 million to 21 billion billion, it would undermine the core foundation of Bitcoin's scarcity narrative. However, Carvalho's proposal may be quietly gaining traction. On April 25, he posted on the X platform, stating: 'Although still a minority, more and more people are beginning to accept the idea of calling Bitcoin's smallest unit 'Bitcoin' and eliminating the decimal point.'
