The decimal isn’t fake—it’s a human-readable layer on top of satoshis, which are very real and very intentional. Removing the decimal and calling satoshis “bitcoin” doesn’t solve anything—it destroys the clarity we’ve built.
And the idea that “no one cares about the 21 million meme” is just wrong.
That meme is why Bitcoin works.
It’s why people trust it.
It’s why it has value.
It’s what makes it different from every fiat system on Earth.
You don’t rip out the heart of a protocol just because some people don’t get it yet.
You teach them.
Because Bitcoin doesn’t adapt to confusion. It survives because it resists it.
