How Many Satoshis Are in a Bitcoin?
Bitcoin (BTC) is getting pricey these days. The oldest cryptocurrency costs $69,400 per digital coin today. That's not chump change, and the beefy price tag may keep many potential Bitcoin buyers from taking the plunge.
Fortunately, you don't have to buy a whole Bitcoin.
The currency breaks down into 100 million Satoshis. Named after the Bitcoin project's enigmatic founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, one Satoshi is worth $0.00069 at today's prices.
It's like dollars and cents, except Bitcoin's cent-like unit is a much smaller portion than 1/100.
This unit is arguably more useful than the clumsy Bitcoin coin if you hope to use cryptocurrency in real-world transactions.
