zur Satoshi-, Kommadiskussion:

Schwierig könnte auch die mangelnde Liquidität werden um globale Zahlungen abzuwickeln. Die maximale Anzahl an Satoshis und zirkulierenden Satoshis ist nunmal begrenzt und für eine Erhöhung des Hard Caps wird es wohl niemals einen Konsens geben.

Bitcoin wurde designt, um die Geldmenge M1 zu decken, andere globale Zahlungen schien die Entwickler nicht zu interessieren.

I remember this discussion, actually.  

Finney, Satoshi, and I discussed how divisible a Bitcoin ought to be.  Satoshi had already more or less decided on a 50-coin per block payout with halving every so often to add up to a 21M coin supply.  Finney made the point that people should never need any currency division smaller than a US penny, and then somebody (I forget who) consulted some oracle somewhere like maybe Wikipedia and figured out what the entire world's M1 money supply at that time was.  

We debated for a while about which measure of money Bitcoin most closely approximated; but M2, M3, and so on are all for debt-based currencies, so I agreed with Finney that M1 was probably the best measure.  

21Million, times 10^8 subdivisions, meant that even if the whole word's money supply were replaced by the 21 million bitcoins the smallest unit (we weren't calling them Satoshis yet)  would still be worth a bit less than a penny, so no matter what happened -- even if the entire economy of planet earth were measured in Bitcoin -- it would never inconvenience people by being too large a unit for convenience.
