You can't divide by a single zero, so I don't know how you would divide by eight zeros.

isn't there a difference btwn the words with and by?

It can be done, and it's not easy. I don't think you need to worry about it for the next 10 years at least.

I lay awake at night, worrying that by the next day, Bitcoin prices will have gone beyond 10^8 USD and the divisibility limit will be a problem. Wink

It would require a protocol change because the protocol operates on discrete units of 1/100000000 BTC, often known informally as a satoshi. A protocol change is not easy, but if we ever get to the point where 1 protocol unit is a meaningful amount of value, it can be done.

I have read some topics that said yes to this answers and other not... So is it technically and easily possible to do that?
