EOS's RAM is a resource used to store smart contracts and account data on the blockchain network, and its smallest unit is a real byte. This means that anything that needs to be stored on the EOS network, whether it is smart contract code or user data, will consume RAM resources in bytes.

Although "RAM" in the EOS ecosystem usually refers to storage capacity, it is fundamentally different from cryptocurrencies such as "Bitcoin" (BTC). BTC is a cryptocurrency used for value storage and payment, while EOS's RAM is a resource unit for storing information on the blockchain.

However, from a certain perspective, EOS's RAM can also be likened to a "byte coin" because its scarcity and demand affect its market price. RAM in the EOS network is a valuable resource, and the market supply and demand relationship determines the price of RAM. If a large number of developers and users need more storage space, the price of RAM will rise as demand increases. In this way, RAM, as a digital asset, also has certain economic attributes.

In short, the smallest unit of EOS's RAM is a byte, and from an economic perspective, it also has characteristics similar to "coin", but its functions are different from cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
