New Nocoiner narrative, "Bitcoin is not scarce".

[franky1]

This was answered long ago, but I can answer it here.

So, what happens if people can't afford a satoshi ? Then the code can be modified to add more decimal places.  That is, the smallest unit then, instead of 8 decimal places, would become 10, 12, decimal places, and so on.  The code allows for this.

bitcoin code is not made of decimals.
bitcoin raw transactions are and never have been measured in btc

the code does not allow for it.
alot of changes and rule breaking will have to occur to allow more sharable units of measure

WTF?

Why does it matter how many decimal places there are with BTC? How does that affect the immutable fact that bitcoin issuance will never exceed 21 million?

Is she saying that since gold can be subdivided down to individual atoms, it is not scarce?

Please. This is elementary maths. She's embarrassing herself.

in code. things are measured in satoshi's
yep look at a raw transaction and look at the values being moved. they are not being moved in decimals of bitcoin. but being moved in satoshis

franky1, but Bitcoin will never issue more than 21 million Bitcoins, or "2.1 quadrillion satoshis". The demand is currently so high, investors are buying the satoshis by the quadrillions, then HODLing them, making them scarce, leaving merely a few billions/trillions in some orderbooks.
