Satoshis Explained
A Satoshi, commonly referred to as a "Sat," is the smallest unit of bitcoin. Named after Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, a Satoshi represents 0.00000001 BTC, meaning one bitcoin (BTC) is equal to 100,000,000 Sats.
Why Use Satoshis? Using Satoshis as a unit of measurement allows for easier handling of fractions of a bitcoin. This means you can make transactions without having to worry about dealing with large decimal numbers.
