🚨 $BTC
Unit Debate Heats Up! 🧱On April 23, Bitcoin developer John Carvalho proposed BIP 177, suggesting we replace satoshis (sats) as Bitcoin’s base unit with 21 trillion smaller units — essentially making each Bitcoin divisible into a trillion parts, instead of the current 100 million.This follows a 2017 idea by Jimmy Song to introduce “bits” (1 millionth of $BTC BTC), which Carvalho says didn’t reduce complexity enough.💬 Jack Dorsey (Block CEO) supports the shift, saying sats are confusing for newcomers.
🚫 Cory Klippsten (Swan Bitcoin CEO) disagrees, arguing people understand Bitcoin just like they do cents in dollars.
Even Satoshi Nakamoto once said unit displays could be changed.📌 No new Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) have been implemented since the Taproot upgrade in Nov 2021.
