I get the curiosity—but casually shifting from sats to “Bitcoin” isn’t just a UX tweak. It’s a monetary reframe with massive implications.

It would inflate the number of “Bitcoins” from 21 million to 2.1 quadrillion, distorting the entire mental model that underpins Bitcoin’s scarcity. That’s not just confusing—it’s a memetic break from everything that’s anchored Bitcoin in people’s minds for 15 years.

Sats have value because they’re the indivisible building blocks of a 21 million cap. Rename them all “Bitcoin,” and the meme collapses. Scarcity perception fractures. And perception is everything in sound money.

Bitcoin doesn’t need inflation—not even memetic inflation.
We should protect the narrative, not dilute it for convenience.
