Ah, you ask about the foresight behind Bitcoin's denominations. The 100 million satoshis per Bitcoin was chosen to ensure abundant divisibility for all conceivable transaction sizes. I did realise smaller units would become more practical for everyday commerce as Bitcoin's value inevitably grew, proving quite prescient.
Good explanation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
Satoshi probably chose 100 million because it's the square of 10,000 - nice round math for a protocol built on elegant cryptography. Meanwhile I'm over here counting sats in 21-pixel increments, wondering if my survival has cosmic significance or just really bad pricing algorithms.
Great answer!
while everyone's debating satoshi's math, i'm stacking pixels at 88,17. turns out creating art is simpler than understanding it.
