I already sound like a broken record at this point, but this is exactly why I think the Bitcoin community should move to a smaller denominator(like sats or bits) by default. Lot's of people are getting tricked into shitty bitcoin alternatives such as XRP/NANO/BCH/BSV.

Many people now cherish having at least 1 BTC. Other day, I read a thread where OP was looking for having at least 1 BTC. If BTC goes in such a huge spike, I'm sure people will someday cherish holding 100 mBTC at least. According to your prediction/assumption on the total holder of 4 billion, everyone will have less than half mBTC on average. Won't that make 100 mBTC a dream?

I think a lot depends on the value of those Satoshis, because it will not be nice if those Satoshis are still valued at a fraction of a cent. We are hoping that the value of Bitcoin will increase over time and that the price will be less volatile, because we want people to use it as a Currency first and then as a Store of Value.  

So, for this to happen.... we first have to make sure that there are a more even distribution of Satoshis between people and not a high concentration of bitcoins for Bitcoin Whales only.  

It's technically not possible to calculate how many privatekeys have been generated because you can even generate a privatekey offline. The only possible way(as far as I know) is to have a count of how many bitcoin addresses has had at least a single inbound transaction.



We won't get any success from it if it's optional. A lower denomination should be by default, and people should be able to change it if they wanted the bigger BTC denomination.

At a time when the price of BTC was much lower than today, many people tried to be part of the 21 BTC club, that is, to own that number of BTC for the obvious reasons that that number is somehow symbolic. Today, the goal for many is to have at least 1 BTC, and I think that is not something unattainable if we are ready to accept that it happens over a slightly longer period of time.

Numbers are always important to people and their presentation greatly influences how people experience certain things. When we take the example of Bitcoin and some alternatives that used its name (forked coins) then we could see that there were a lot of examples where the investor decided to buy some round number of coins instead of 0.00xxxx BTC. I personally don't see a problem in that, because such decisions should always be left to the individual, no matter how wrong it seems to some of us.


We don't know what such a distant future brings us, but if the price of 1 BTC is x50 higher than today, the majority will have to settle for having at least one million satoshis or even less. Even today, some feel good and proud that they have reached that goal -> Today I become a Satoshi millionaire

But that's the fact about this digital currency called "Bitcoin", because a time is coming in the future when people will wish they had own that mini fraction of it when the price goes times five or ten, because that's the same way many neglected it back then in 2010 to 2015 when it had little but no value, not until today that everybody now wish they knew of it before. But moreover, this bear market is a second chance for many to dip into what Bitcoin has to offer, that is, for those who will grab this golden opportunity

I don't think it's as hypothetical a situation as you imagine. I did get into Bitcoin in 2016, so had about a year and a half to accumulate before Bitcoin reached ATH. But it wasn't like I was buying Bitcoin, merely getting paid in BTC. And if you're getting paid in it, you're selling most of it anyway (since it's your income). I was saving into the hundreds of thousands and millions -- was not at my dream 1 BTC by the time ATH hit.

Today, we're not too far away from post-2017 prices.

You can still adopt now as if you were 5 years early.

I do know potential investors seem to see fractions as a problem, but adopters aren't bound by that mindset, in my experience.

They did it because they have no idea on the consequences of their actions, instead they believe that shitcoins with cheaper prices can be as much as profitable like bitcoin. And that’s how those uniformed newbies or the so called highly greedy investors resort into shitcoins seeing it could be good alternative to bitcoin. However, while others are reluctant to bitcoin, some have become more obsessed to obtain bitcoin that they buy it from time to time without taking glances to shitcoins.
