Why is Ethereum’s smallest unit called wei?
Publicly available emails show that Wei Dai and Adam Back were among the people contacted early on, before Satoshi Nakamoto published the white paper in 2008.
Here’s an important reminder: check the currency units in your wallet carefully. Gwei and ETH differ by a factor of one billion, and entering the wrong unit could lead to serious losses.
The white paper $BTC lists Wei Dai’s b-money as its very first reference.
There’s no shame in playing it safe. Staying in the game matters more than how much you make on any one trade.
