It's as old as Bitcoin itself: how can the world's first cryptocurrency be achieved by the real mass adoption? Although the Bitcoin community focuses on improving the user experience, the introduction of the introduction, the fighting of legislators and the boarding authorities, the Core Bitcoin developer and CEO Synonym John Carvalho has proposed a simpler solution: depreciate the Satosh and remove the decimal places to “reduce the cognitive load”.
Changing a satosh for Bitcoin can improve the user experience
A Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) Issued in December 2024, Carvalho states that the elimination of the term “Satoshi” and removal of decimal points in changing the Satosh for bitcoin would be a dual advantage: to make Bitcoin easier and remove the unit's prejudices, both key to attracting new users.
Currently, one bitcoin is made up of 100 million tiny pieces called base units or satosh, which cannot be further divided. Carvalho's proposal recommends that “Bitcoin” be re -defined to refer to this smallest unit. According to this system, instead of what we now call “1 bitcoin” as 100 million bitcoins.
For example, the new system would change at a 0.00010000 BTC transaction 10,000 bitcoins and display 10.23486 BTC as 1,023,486,000 bitcoins, which re -defines the concept defines the concept again defines the concept Bitcoin millionairesTo.
Bitcoiners are notoriously resistant to change
Bitcoin's history is filled with controversial discussions, from the size of the blocks to the Segwit, and the arguments on NFTs continues in blockchain. Not surprisingly, Carvalho's proposal has been introduced after the end of last year. Podcast host Stephan Livera mocked An idea in XComparing it to a pizza with each pizza slice:
“Hey, I have this great idea! Instead of one eight slices of pizza, let's name every slice of pizza. Make sure if you go to order your pizza, you order eight pizzas instead of one. Only my two pizzas.”
Daniel Semple Pico, founder of viral bits jokingly:
“I like when the fired people get from your proposal,”
When other members of the community expressed concerns about changing the whole offer from 21 million to 2.1 kvadillions to Bitcoins, the original offer saw Bitcoin as a basic principle of identity.
“Personally, I am not interested in changing the offer from 21m to 2.1 kvadrillion. Shitcoins infinity in the sea and the unlimited flood of the Fiat is 21 million Bitcoin statements, the average finger for financial decomposition.”
Make a Satoshi Bitcoin again
There may be a small chance that Carvalho's proposal will grow to people like his Posted to X April 25, 2025:
“It's still a minority, but a lot more people are interested in the idea of naming the Bitcoin Bitcoin basic units and removing a decade.”
Carvalho seems to be in the campaign, borrowing Trump's sleep slogan and filling his X-page with well-known characters in the global economic community, including Satoshi, Klaus Schwab and Ursula von von der Leyen, giving red caps with the slogans “Tea with Satoshi Bitcoin.”
Whether the proposal is gaining momentum will be reviewed. However, the ongoing discussion emphasizes how even the most minimal adjustments could make the Bitcoin masses tastier.
