Satoshi
The smallest unit of Bitcoin — one hundred million satoshis equal one whole Bitcoin.
Satoshi (or 'sat') was named after Bitcoin's mysterious creator. As Bitcoin gets more expensive, people think and trade more in sats than whole Bitcoins.It's like pennies for Bitcoin — you don't need a whole dollar to buy something, just a few pennies.
Real world: Instead of saying you sent 0.00001234 BTC, you can say you sent 1,234 satoshis — much easier when talking about tiny amounts.
💡 Start thinking in sats — it's the future language of Bitcoin and makes small payments feel normal.
