According to PANews, Bitcoin developer John Carvalho introduced Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 177 on April 23, aiming to replace satoshis as the fundamental unit of Bitcoin by dividing 21 million Bitcoins into 21 trillion units. This proposal follows a 2017 suggestion by developer Jimmy Song to create 'bits' as a representation of one-millionth of a Bitcoin, which Carvalho believes did not simplify the complexity.
Block CEO Jack Dorsey supports the change, expressing in a post on May 18 that satoshis, or sats, are confusing for newcomers. However, Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten opposes the proposal, arguing that people can understand satoshis in Bitcoin just as they understand cents in dollars. Additionally, Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, had previously indicated that the unit display method could be altered.
Since the Taproot upgrade in November 2021, no new improvement proposals have been implemented in the Bitcoin network.#Bitcoin #BitcoinImprovementProposal #BIP177 #satoshis #bits #cryptocurrency #blockchain #Taproot #JackDorsey #CoryKlippsten #SatoshiNakamoto #BTC
