Crypto Basics | How finely can Bitcoin be divided?
The smallest unit recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain is 1 satoshi. The Lightning Network can denominate amounts down to one-thousandth of a satoshi.
Using satoshis to price small amounts is more convenient: “1,000 sats” is less likely to make you miscount decimal places than “0.00001 BTC.”
$BTC You don’t have to buy a whole bitcoin; you can buy 0.001 BTC or even less.
Don’t rush into something just because everyone else is doing it.
