What if Satoshi Nakamoto’s real plan was to trick 1.2 billion people into chasing Bitcoin, while the true currency was satoshis all along?
Everyone knows 1 Bitcoin equals 100,000,000 satoshis. Satoshis are the smallest unit of BTC, making it divisible and usable for everyday transactions.
But here’s a thought I’ve never seen discussed: What if satoshis are not just units of Bitcoin… but the real Bitcoin?
Think about it: • Bitcoin’s cap is 21 million coins. But in satoshis, that’s 2.1 quadrillion units. • If Bitcoin adoption grows to billions of people, most will never own a full BTC. They’ll hold satoshis. • Over time, the “coin” may just become a reference point, while the satoshi becomes the true currency of the network.
🧐 Imagine a future where saying “I own 0.01 BTC” sounds outdated, and instead we talk in sats: “I own 1 million sats.”
👉 Could it be that Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin so that his namesake — the satoshi — would be the actual money of the future?
