Let's talk about Bitcoin's smallest unit.
Amounts are actually recorded as whole numbers of satoshis in Bitcoin's underlying system; the decimals shown by wallets and exchanges are conversions.
One thing many people overlook: using satoshis to represent small amounts is more convenient. Saying “1,000 satoshis” makes it easier not to lose track of the zeros than saying “0.00001 BTC.”
You can change your wallet's display unit to one you're comfortable with, which makes it easier to avoid misreading amounts.
$BTC You don't have to buy a whole bitcoin at once—you can trade as little as 0.001 BTC, or even less. Currently, 69,307.03.
