Bitcoin<\/a> has been dubbed a lot of things by many different people. It\u2019s digital gold<\/a>; a store of value; a cryptocurrency; it\u2019s rat poison<\/a>; it\u2019s freedom from inflation; it\u2019s borderless. But at its core, the one thing it aims to become the most, is money.<\/span><\/p>\n Many argue that Bitcoin has many years to go before it can be considered \u201cmoney\u201d in the traditional sense, however, the first ever cryptocurrency has taken a major leap from being \u201cmagic internet money\u201d toward becoming \u201cjust money.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Satoshi Nakamoto<\/a>, Bitcoin\u2019s mysterious and pseudonymous creator, designed Bitcoin to be deflationary, giving it a core advantage over fiat currencies, and coded the cryptocurrency to be divisible by up to eight decimal spaces, or 0.00000001 BTC.<\/span><\/p>\n The lowest possible denomination of Bitcoin is worth a mere $0.000080 \u2013 a far ways off from even being valued at a penny, the lowest physical coin offered in the United States as fiat currency.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Sets New All-Time High In Addresses Holding at Least 0.1 BTC\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n However, according to Bitcoin analyst Rhythmtrader, the lowest denomination of \u201cmagic internet money\u201d \u2013 the satoshi, named after the cryptocurrency’s creator \u2013 is now worth more than the Iranian Rial, Vietnamese Dong, and Indonesian Rupiah \u2013 all national fiat currencies of third-world countries.<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/rhythmtrader\/status\/51989249?s=12<\/p>\n Just one satoshi or 0.00000001 BTC is worth over 3.3 Iranian Rial, 1.8 Vietnamese Dong, and 1.1 Indonesian Rupiah. For one satoshi to ever reach the equivalent value of one United States Dollar, each BTC would be valued at $100 million each.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s interesting that third-world countries with struggling economies that have national fiat currencies valued on parity with one satoshi, are also the countries that would benefit the most and find the most value in using Bitcoin over their native currencies.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s in these countries where trust in fiat currency is low, inflation is high<\/a>, and each country\u2019s respective government regularly oversteps their boundaries when it comes to their citizen\u2019s money.<\/span><\/p>\nOne Satoshi Is Now Worth More Than These National Currencies<\/span><\/h2>\n
