Quote from: According to Mike Hearn and email correspondence he had with Satoshi
Similar to cents for a dollar, a satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin. There are 100 million satoshis in each Bitcoin, which means there will only ever be 2,100 trillion satoshis – roughly the same as the global supply in 2009. Based on this, Bitcoin would be well suited to replace all fiat currencies and have the ability to act as a global currency.
