The CEO of Bitcoin tools developer Synonym, John Carvalho, has proposed a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) to redefine Bitcoin's smallest unit, stating that 1 Satoshi should be considered 1 Bitcoin. Carvalho argues that this change eliminates the need for decimal points and better reflects the true nature of the Bitcoin network. He believes that removing decimals will improve the user experience and ensure a consistent standard for measuring Bitcoin as adoption and value increases. Carvalho suggests that implementing the proposal would be simple and only require changes to display formats. However, the proposal has generated mixed reactions, with some supporting it and others criticizing it for adding unnecessary complexity and confusion for new users.
