&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;), sats ([[Satoshi (unit)|satoshis]]) or [[bit (unit)|bit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Unit names==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some names have been proposed for different denominations of bitcoin for everyday use. One syllable words are preferred. Capital letter symbols for multiples of Bitcoin, lower case for fractions of bitcoin, two letters for fractions of a sat. Many pay homage to the devs and other influences on the creation of Bitcoin.&lt;br /&gt;

==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring the standard &#039;&#039;Le Système International d&#039;Unités&#039;&#039;, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bits===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many have adopted the practice of referring to the micro-bitcoin metric sub-unit as &amp;quot;bits&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;), sats ([[Satoshi (unit)|satoshis]]) or [[bit (unit)|bit]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;

Some names have been proposed for different denominations of bitcoin for everyday use. One syllable words are preferred. Capital letter symbols for multiples of Bitcoin, lower case for fractions of bitcoin, two letters for fractions of a sat. Many pay homage to the devs and other influences on the creation of Bitcoin.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;), sats ([[Satoshi (unit)|satoshis]]) or [[bit (unit)|bit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring the standard &#039;&#039;Le Système International d&#039;Unités&#039;&#039;, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bits===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many have adopted the practice of referring to the micro-bitcoin metric sub-unit as &amp;quot;bits&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;), sats ([[Satoshi (unit)|satoshis]]) or [[bit (unit)|bit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring the standard &#039;&#039;Le Système International d&#039;Unités&#039;&#039;, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;), sats ([[Satoshi (unit)|satoshis]]) or [[bit (unit)|bit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring the standard &#039;&#039;Le Système International d&#039;Unités&#039;&#039;, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;), sats ([[Satoshi (unit)|satoshis]]) or [[bit (unit)|bit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring the standard &#039;&#039;Le Système International d&#039;Unités&#039;&#039;, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;), sats ([[Satoshi (unit)|satoshis]]) or [[bit (unit)|bit]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring the standard &#039;&#039;Le Système International d&#039;Unités&#039;&#039;, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;), sats ([[Satoshi (unit)|satoshis]]) or [[bit (unit)|bit]]  &amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring the standard &#039;&#039;Le Système International d&#039;Unités&#039;&#039;, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Most commonly, units of bitcoin are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC (&amp;quot;bitcoins&amp;quot;), mBTC (&amp;quot;millibitcoins&amp;quot;) and μBTC (&amp;quot;[[bit (unit)|micro-bitcoin]] or [[bit (unit)|bit]]  &amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Decimal metric units==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 10&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
Mirroring the standard &#039;&#039;Le Système International d&#039;Unités&#039;&#039;, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bits===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many have adopted the practice of referring to the micro-bitcoin metric sub-unit as &amp;quot;bits&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Not complaining about your [[Bitcoin Ladder]] idea, but I&#039;m not sure it should be linked from every listed service&#039;s article... Is there a reason behind that? --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 22:43, 17 January 2013 (GMT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree, linking to it from /every single service page/ is a bit much. --[[User:Nanotube|Nanotube]] ([[User talk:Nanotube|talk]]) 22:57, 17 January 2013 (GMT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok. Agree. 18 links maybe too many. I&#039;ll remove some. --[[User:Flix|Flix]] ([[User talk:Flix|talk]]) 23:29, 17 January 2013 (GMT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Sounds good. I might suggest to link it from other listings-style pages (like &#039;trade&#039;, &#039;businesses and organizations&#039;, and such), rather than from individual service provider pages. That&#039;d be quite sensible. --[[User:Nanotube|Nanotube]] ([[User talk:Nanotube|talk]]) 02:05, 18 January 2013 (GMT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Done. Removed half the links. --[[User:Flix|Flix]] ([[User talk:Flix|talk]]) 09:26, 18 January 2013 (GMT)&lt;br /&gt;

== Chart ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chart you uploaded is highly speculative. It&#039;s the sort of thing that a scamcoin-pumper would post, and it&#039;s not appropriate for this wiki, which is supposed to be fairly neutral and professional. [[User:Theymos|theymos]] ([[User talk:Theymos|talk]]) 17:30, 10 October 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fair enough. Probably only the historical part is appropiate for the wiki. Nice to hear from you Theymos! --[[User:Flix|Flix]] ([[User talk:Flix|talk]]) 09:02, 11 October 2024 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) is the final and most insidious form of [[fiat money]], since as programmable money it allows a much higher degree of control, including geofencing, time limits, restrictions on saving, blacklisting, censorship, etc. It can potentially lead to [[ubiquitous law enforcement]] and facilitate social credit systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== CBDC programs around the world ==&lt;br /&gt;
A large number of governments around the world are working on developing a CBDC. 3 have launched. 36 are in the pilot stage and 30 are in development. These are some of the most relevant.&lt;br /&gt;
