He is absolutely wrong about it:
Let’s imagine BIP-177 goes through.
Today, 1 Bitcoin = $105,000.
If satoshis are renamed “bitcoin,” that same asset becomes:
1 “bitcoin” = $0.00105
Let that sink in.
The asset people dream of hitting $1 million per coin…
The meme that drove curiosity, conviction, and global attention…
Suddenly slashed to less than a penny—overnight.
No, it’s not “just a UI change.”
It’s psychological and memetic destruction.
You think normies are confused now?
Try explaining that we didn’t change supply, just the unit, and now Bitcoin trades for one-tenth of a cent.
Try onboarding people into an asset that no longer feels scarce or elite.
This isn’t just bad UX.
It’s economic sabotage dressed up as “accessibility.”
It crushes momentum.
It dismantles meme power.
It’s the worst possible move—economically, strategically, and culturally.
You don’t reprice a monument.
You protect it.
21 million Bitcoin. 100 million satoshis. Leave it alone.

“Buy Bitcoin!”
“Its to expensive…”
“You can buy a million sats for X dollars.”
“Sats? Whats that a new bitcoin?”
“No, its a fraction of a bitcoin. Like a penny to a dollar.”
“…”
That is just about EVERY conversation with new comers.
“STUDY BITCOIN!”
“When? I dont have the time…”
Im not sayjng change “Sats” to “Bitcoins.” But market psychology proves people don’t (and won’t) get it.
