The satoshi unit is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, published a paper in 2008 that jump started the development of the bitcoin cryptocurrency. The paper, “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”, described the use of a peer-to-peer network as a solution to the problem of double-spending. The problem – that a digital currency or token can used in more than one transaction – is not found in physical currencies, as a physical bill or coin can, by its nature, only exist in one place at a single time. Since a digital currency does not exist in the physical space, using it in a transaction does not remove it from someone’s possession.VALUE OF SATOSHI
- 1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 ฿
- 10 Satoshi = 0.00000010 ฿
- 100 Satoshi = 0.00000100฿ = 1 Bit / μBTC (you-bit)
- 1,000 Satoshi = 0.00001000 ฿
- 10,000 Satoshi = 0.00010000 ฿
- 100,000 Satoshi = 0.00100000 ฿ = 1 mBTC (em-bit)
- 1,000,000 Satoshi = 0.01000000 ฿ = 1 cBTC (bitcent)
- 10,000,000 Satoshi = 0.10000000 ฿
