Exactly!.. Just mind boggling to think how much 1 whole Bitcoin is truly worth! i don't think i need to repeat the same rhetoric about trying to accumulate a 1 whole Bitcoin...
That seems to be part of the reason why appreciate having more than 0.63BTC, and on a regular basis, I even tend to lecture newbie to bitcoin folks (normies) about NOT getting ahead of their skiis in terms of starting out attempting to accumulate what they can... In 2018-2020, it may well have been more practical to aim towards getting a whole coin, but even for now, one whole coin might be out of reach for some newbie normies who are just getting into bitcoin, and they may well have to start out much smaller in terms of their goal.. and perhaps even if 0.21BTC might be too high, then maybe some of these newbie normies may well need to start to think in terms of satoshis.
I have a relative who I recently got into bitcoin somewhat.. and it is not even easy to know sometimes if these newbie normies are going to be "in" or not and whether they are going to be able to stay in.
On this particular person, I was suggesting that s/he could think in terms of satoshis, and maybe first strive to be a satoshi millionaire.. and that would be a good place to start... and there were a couple of times in the past 6 months or so in which we had agreed to some shared expenses in which s/he would pay in dollars and I would go on a bitcoin payment plan and to spread the payback over several weeks.. each time there were several weeks of payments, and the first set of payments, I had said to such relative that in accordance with my records, s/he is now a satoshi millionaire (merely based on my payments and apart from whether s/he had been accumulating bitcoin on the side). And after the second set of payments, I had paid over 2 million satoshis.. so getting into the territory of multi-millionaire - depending on if more than 2 million constitutes multi-millionaire or if you might need over 3 million satoshis in order to cross such multi-millionaire threshold.
Several times, I had reminded such relative that I had paid his/her spouse close to half of a bitcoin through various times in 2016 through 2019.. and the spouse had been seeming to become quite hostile to bitcoin, even though in mid-2022, such bitcoin that I paid to the spouse would have been worth at least 50x higher than the various dollar related values of the payments at the time that I had paid the bitcoin.. but the spouse had largely turned into a no coiner.. and was ongoingly (and seemingly increasingly) bitter/hostile about the whole matter.
Anyhow, it is crazy how people have differing ways of thinking about matters, even when I alway thought that I had provided reasonable frameworks to just HODL your BTC, especially if you do not have very much invested.. but people get anxious and they want to "cash out" and then have regrets.. so what can we do when trying to "help" others (nocoiners or precoiners) to come around to bitcoin..
In regards to rounding, it was in relations to halving cycle rewards... you obviously can't have 1/2 a SAT, so it was rounded up or down pending on the bit... so it wasn't a true halving.
That's too bad about the integer matter because I frequently presumed that the halvenings went on forever, even though the number would get infinitesimally smaller and smaller (especially if it were to be halved at sub-satoshi levels.. but whatever, if it stops fractionalizing below satoshis, then so be it...
We know that on the lighting network there has been recognition of sub-satoshis, such as low as 1/1000 of a satoshi, but yeah, those sub-satoshis seem to be rounded when getting validated back onto the blockchain (such as when a lightning channel closes with sub satoshis contained thereon).
Hahahaha... Yeah.. that's interesting that the girl chose to confront the guy... , and the guy handled the matter quite well... and didn't even lose his patience.
I also noticed that the audio was picked up very nicely, and I don't think that she was wearing a mic.. because the sound pick-up seemed to be directional in terms of where her camera was placed... but still it seemed to have had picked up very clearly, even given their distance and even given that they were outside too.. must have been a pretty quiet area of the park.
