When Satoshi Nakamoto published his Bitcoin Whitepape, Bitcoin was designed both as an end-to-end monetary system and as the monetary unit of this system.
How can the dollar be divided by one out of 100? If it has a new subunit called cent, it can be split in Bitcoin into 3 subunits: microbitcoin (mBTC), millibitcoins (μBTC) and satoshi.
Why are there so many subunits needed?
For general use, dividing the US dollar by 100 is sufficient for use.. But in fact, US citizens refer to different subunits formed by the combination of cents.. For example, 5 cents they call nickle, 10 cents as dimes and 25 c per quarter.. A total of 21 million Bitcoins are known as the total maximum supply that will be completed after the 2100s.. More than 17,000,000 Bitcoins have been mined so far. Bitcoin is not a physical money but a mathematical code and can be divided into as many units as you want.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin itself is a currency and it can be divided into any number of units in the Bitcoin network. represents a whole. Just like 1 US dollar. Bitcoin is created to be separable up to an 8-digit number. In order for Bitcoin to be further divided, only a consensus code change must be made.. On international exchanges, Bitcoin is usually indexed to the Dollar.
Millibitcoins (mBTC)
This is a controversial name that the majority of the community cannot agree on.. One MilliBitcoin represents one 1000th of a Bitcoin. So 0.001 BTC. On May 2011, when it was decided, MiliBitcoin first became necessary when Bitcoin reached a value of 10 dollars.. was felt. MiliBitcoin is a subunit also called MiliBit.
Microbitcoins (μBTC)
MicroBitcoin or one millionth of 1 Bitcoin. 0.000001 BTC. Bitcoin developers also proposed the term bits for MikroBitcoin, which is 100 Satoshi, or one Bitcoin per million.
Satoshi (sat)
The smallest unit of Bitcoin recorded on the blockchain. A satoshi is one 100 millionth of 1 Bitcoin.. (0.00000001 BTC) Named after Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Sat split Bitcoin into 100 million pieces in November 2008 and published it as such.. Two years later, Bitcoin main developer “Ribuck” suggested that One in 100 Bitcoin be Sell. He later changed his proposal and got one 100 millionth of it as Satoshi.
