Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 177 has sparked a global debate on Bitcoin’s user experience and financial education, though the technical protocol of Bitcoin would remain unchanged if the proposal is adopted.
BitTrees Research analyst Jonathan, also known as Raging BTC, proposed a hybrid unit model where 1 Bitcoin equals 1 million bits and each bit equals 100 sats, aiming to align Bitcoin’s unit system with familiar fiat structures.
JAN3 CEO Samson Mow supports changing Bitcoin’s base unit to bits but advises waiting until Bitcoin reaches dollar-satoshi parity, at which point he suggests introducing “satcents” for added granularity.
Jack Dorsey publicly endorsed the view that using “sats” for Bitcoin's base unit is confusing for new users and expressed preference for calling them “Bitcoin” or “bits of Bitcoin”.
