What Is A Satoshi?
The smallest value that the Bitcoin network supports sending is the Satoshi, one hundred-millionth (0.000 000 01) of a Bitcoin. In other words, the network does not support sending fractions of a Satoshi.
Since it is a hard limit, it seems natural to use it as a unit, though it currently has very little value. The plural of Satoshi is Satoshi: “Send me 100 Satoshi”. This base unit is named after the pseudonymous creator(s) of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Special Note! Be aware that 1 BTC = 100 Million Sats, NOT 1,000 Million Sats! We’re used to things growing in groups of 3 (eg 1 -> 1,000 -> 1,000,000) but Bitcoin only splits into 8 decimal places not 9. So rather than there being 1,000 million there is only 100 million.
Where To Buy Satoshi (Bitcoin)
Buying bitcoin is no different to trading other currencies such as the USD for EURO. You can buy a whole bitcoin (1 BTC) or fractions of a bitcoin (0.005 BTC) and doing so usually incurs a trading fee which is a percentage of the trade amount.
