We spent 15 years convincing people that the hard number is 21 million bitcoins. Now we have to go back to each person to tell them that it is now 2 quadrillion and 100 trillion bitcoins. But somehow we didn't create any new coins in the process.

I just now discovered this BIP proposal. I also don't think this is a good idea. In my view I there's many more important things to do in the world and ways to spend attention and capital. But anybody is free to create a BIP. And I think its important to always remember that the idea that all BIPs should deserve attention per se and all appear in one place is obviously just an opinion as we know. It's part of the process of decentralization that we're all part of. This (and other BIP ideas) are a great test to the decentralization of Bitcoin. Bitcoin should remain decentralized, and we should find ways to make that decentralization always be the priority. Bitcoin is the community. Nostr allows that community to flourish too. Nostr can also teach decentralization to Bitcoin. We're all going to there and learn a lot about all of this. We're gonna get there.

If you told them there’s only 21 million dollars and there’s 100M Pennies in each dollar and it can’t be changed They can do the math and realize the truth, it’s just the wallet showing you the decimal point in reality there is no decimal. It’s all integers
