Using Satoshi

While not officially part of a major currency pair, bitcoins and satoshis can be converted to and from other currencies. Cryptocurrency exchanges allow you to convert between fiat and cryptocurrencies or conduct other transactions.

Generally, transactions involve depositing dollars, pounds, or other currencies into an account in one of the exchanges. The money is converted to satoshis or bitcoins, which you can use at merchants that accept them as payment. Not all online merchants accept all or any forms of cryptocurrency—make sure you research the merchants where you want to use your satoshi and bitcoin and make sure they accept them.

How Is Satoshi Different From Other Digital Denominations?

Many cryptocurrencies use denominations specific to their designer's preferences. For example, Bitcoin uses only the satoshi as a denomination, while Ethereum uses several.14 Both versions make it easier to conduct transactions in amounts that are not equal to the currency's market value, but their difference in denominations can be confusing if you're new to cryptocurrency.

To get the satoshi to U.S. dollar rate, divide the current market price by 100 million. To get the number of satoshi per dollar amount, divide the dollar amount you want by the satoshi to the dollar rate.

Satoshis can be referred to using the metric system to make it easier to understand:

Millibitcoin (mBTC) = 100,000 satoshi
Microbitcoin (µBTC) = 100 satoshi5

Ethereum uses different conventions for its equivalent values, with wei being the smallest unit of ether:

1 wei = 1 quintillionth of 1 ether
1 Gwei = 1 billion wei6

Ether has more denominations, but these are used the most. Both bitcoin and ether have different market values, so one satoshi has a different monetary value than one ether. How Many Dollars Is 1 Satoshi?
