Normies have zero clue what is happening in the world of bitcoin… if this change happened, I doubt people would think “oh Bitcoin is affordable now,” rather I’m sure they would think “see one bitcoin crashed to way less than $0 I knew it would fail!”

Would be huge mess imo. Too much confusion for normies.

Already touching it!

Changing unbroken things seems like a bad precedent to set

Still think this is too confusing… But it the idea really gained momentum… IMHO would make more sense to keep sats and have 1 million :1 ratio eg rename bits (100sats) to bitcoin. At $1m usd we get 1 btc = 1 usd and 1 sat = 1 cent 1 BTC becomes1 000 000 BTC 21 trillion bitcoin 100 sats for o...

I can already hear the midwit chorus: 'Then it wasn’t a fixed number of 21 million—they produced more!'

That would be extremely confusing to change it after all this time with very little real world benefit.
