$1000SATS $1000SATS #ordi SATS has two meanings, with different applications:

1. SATS (Satoshi) as a unit of measurement

This is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, 1 BTC = 100,000,000 SATS.

· Application: Primarily used for small payments, pricing, and lowering the understanding threshold for new users. It makes Bitcoin's payment function more precise, similar to using 'cents' to use 'dollars'. However, this is not a hot topic of discussion in the current ecosystem.

2. SATS as the BRC-20 token of the Ordinals protocol

This is currently the hottest 'SATS', fully named SATOSHI NAMIMOTO, a fungible token created in March 2023 based on the BRC-20 standard on the Bitcoin blockchain.

In the thriving Bitcoin ecosystem, SATS has derived the following applications:

1. Trading and speculation

· This is the primary and most direct application. On major exchanges supporting the Bitcoin ecosystem (such as Gate.io, OKX, Bybit) and decentralized trading platforms (like Unisat, Magic Eden), SATS is one of the most traded BRC-20 tokens, serving as an important tool for users participating in Bitcoin ecosystem speculation and liquidity.

2. As a 'pricing/exchange medium' and 'liquidity pool base asset' within the ecosystem

· In some emerging Bitcoin Layer 2 and DeFi protocols, SATS, due to its high liquidity and consensus, has begun to be used as one side of trading pairs. For example, in certain DEXs that settle in Bitcoin, you can exchange SATS for other BRC-20 tokens or Ordinals NFTs.

· It is used as one of the base assets providing liquidity, participating in AMM pools.

3. As a 'credential' or 'fuel' for participation and interaction in the ecosystem

· Some new projects built on Bitcoin (such as certain Layer 2 networks, social applications, games) will require holding SATS as a credential for participating in airdrops, obtaining whitelist spots, or enjoying specific services.

· In the future, as the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem matures, SATS may be used as collateral for staking assets and loans.

4. Payments and tips

· Within small communities, SATS has been used for paying services, tipping creators, or purchasing goods. For example, merchants or individuals supporting the Bitcoin Lightning Network and Ordinals may accept SATS payments. However, this has not yet become a mainstream payment method.

5. A bridge connecting traditional finance and the Bitcoin ecosystem
