Respectfully, you’re missing the red flag here.
BIP-177 isn’t a protocol-level proposal—it’s an informational BIP. That means it bypasses consensus entirely. It’s not about changing Bitcoin Core. It’s about changing how wallets and exchanges display Bitcoin—by redefining 1 satoshi as 1 “bitcoin” in the UI.
That’s what makes it dangerous. It targets perception, not protocol.
And now that Jack Dorsey—a wallet manufacturer with massive reach—is backing it, you start to see the full picture. This isn’t about software constraints. It’s about steering the narrative, quietly, through design.
That’s not drama. That’s strategy. And we’d be naive to ignore it.
