👀Would you rather own 1 BTC or 100,000,000 bitcoins? Don’t answer just yet—let’s first look at what BIP-177 is all about! 🔍 Overview of BIP-177｜Proposed by Synonym CEO John Carvalho BIP-177 proposes redefining Bitcoin’s base unit and how it’s displayed, with the goal of improving user understanding. Note: This proposal does not alter Bitcoin’s consensus protocol. Here are the key changes: ✅ Renames the base unit to “bitcoin”, deprecating terms like “satoshi” and “sat”; ✅ Keeps the currency code “BTC” unchanged, where 1 BTC = 100,000,000 bitcoins; ✅ Allows the use of “₿” to represent base-unit bitcoins (e.g., 0.345 BTC = ₿34,500,000); ✅ Supports switching between the traditional decimal format and the new integer-only format. 📌 Example Before BIP-177: 1 BTC = 100,000,000 sats / 100,000,000 satoshis After BIP-177: 1 BTC = 100,000,000 bitcoins 🔺 Important: This is just a naming and display change for the base unit. Your BTC doesn’t magically increase. 🤣 🚀 3 Key Benefits of BIP-177｜More Than Just a Visual Change Although BIP-177 only redefines units and display formats, John Carvalho believes the benefits are significant: ✅ 1. Reduces Cognitive Load As BTC’s value rises, everyday payments and on-chain interactions often involve tiny decimals (e.g., 0.00002 BTC). By displaying amounts as integers like “2,000 bitcoins,” users find it easier to understand, calculate, and input values. 📌Example: Before: I have 0.00002 BTC After: I have 2,000 bitcoins (Fewer zeros, more intuitive value) ✅ 2. Eliminates “Unit Anxiety” With 1 BTC priced around $103,000, many newcomers feel priced out. Owning “just” 0.1 BTC may feel insufficient. Under the new system, 1 bitcoin (base unit) is only $0.00103—much more approachable. This eases the psychological barrier and makes Bitcoin feel more accessible. 📌Example: Before: I only have 0.00002 BTC After: I have 2,000 bitcoins (More empowering and beginner-friendly) ✅ 3. Simplifies the User Experience By retiring “satoshi/sat,” BIP-177 removes the dual-layer denomination confusion (BTC vs sats). Unifying everything under the term “bitcoin” makes it clearer, and better reflects Bitcoin’s true integer-based protocol design. 🗣 Community Reactions｜Pros & Cons 📌Critics say: BIP-177 removes the beloved “satoshi” unit, named after Bitcoin’s creator, and could lead to confusion between “BTC” and “bitcoin.” Supporters say: 📌It reinforces Bitcoin’s base-unit consistency, makes the price feel less intimidating, and improves accessibility for newcomers. Anyway, BIP-177 is currently just a proposal for the Bitcoin communities. Let’s wait and see what happens next!

"Sats" Redefinition Proposal Sparks Controversy in the Bitcoin Community According to Crypto Briefing, while the Bitcoin community is busy optimizing user experience, launching custody solutions, lobbying regulators, and attracting institutions, core developer and Synonym CEO John Carvalho has put forward a simpler proposal: abolish the "satoshi" unit and remove the decimal point to lower the cognitive threshold for newcomers. In a BIP proposal in December 2024, he argued that the 100 million "sats" into which one Bitcoin is divided should be directly defined as "Bitcoin." For example, a transaction currently displayed as 0.00010000 BTC would be displayed as 10,000 BTC in the new system, completely reshaping the benchmark for "Bitcoin millionaires." This move quickly sparked controversy. Opponents ridiculed it with the "pizza argument": if each slice of pizza were called a "whole," one would have to order eight "wholes" at a time to meet their needs, satirizing the absurdity of unit inflation. More community members worry that if the total amount is "inflated" from 21 million to 2.1 quadrillion, it will shake the core foundation of the Bitcoin scarcity narrative. However, Carvalho's proposal may be quietly gaining momentum. On April 25, he posted on X, saying, "Although still in the minority, more and more people are beginning to accept the idea of calling the smallest unit of Bitcoin 'Bitcoin' and eliminating the decimal point."
