It’s honestly staggering to think about, but we’re getting to a point where even one satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, could end up being more valuable than entire national currencies. Not theoretically. In real purchasing power.

Right now, 1 sat is worth about ₦1.50. That might not sound like much, but in Nigeria, ₦1,000 still buys you a decent meal, a couple of bus rides, or some phone credit. And if Bitcoin ever hits $10 million, that same sat would be worth ₦160. That’s enough to actually buy something meaningful, especially in countries where the currency is getting shredded by inflation. Look at Zimbabwe. Their local currency has collapsed so many times that most people don’t even bother with it anymore. They use USD, mobile money, or whatever else holds value that week. The Zimbabwean dollar is basically finished. And the naira is still here, but just barely. Inflation is spiraling, trust is evaporating, and the central bank keeps making the situation worse.

Now think about that. A digital fraction of a digital coin, just 1 sat, could soon be worth more than the money entire countries depend on. That’s not some far-off future. That’s just what happens when trust in fiat dies and people start looking for something that actually holds its value. One sat might not seem like much right now. But in the future, it could buy someone in Zimbabwe a full meal while entire stacks of paper currency can’t even buy a loaf of bread. That’s how powerful this shift really is.
