Once upon a time there was a village where one rich man who had ten breads while the rest of the village was poor and starved. The rich man said to the poor people: "listen, I will share one bread with the rest of you, that should keep you satisfied" the villagers responded: "one bread wont feed us all" The rich man said "Oh, that is no problem, the bread can be cut into 20 slices". But The villagers responded "that is not enough, we are thousands of starving people" The rich man then said "that is still not a problem, because each slice of bread can be divided into hundreds of crumbles - and if that is not enough for you, each crumble can actually be divided into billions of molecules"
Stupid story? Well it is exactly the same logic that a disturbingly lot of people here believe can solve the problem of the limited supply of bitcoins.
food and currency are 2 different things.
lets sat a town mayor owned one satoshi. he could divide it up as a trusted person into 100,000 parts and print pieces of paper that he trades gold, food, land for the decimals and then the receivers of the decimals can then use those decimals to trade amungst themselves for food, products etc. or trade with the town mayor to change the decimals back into gold/land whatever. never disappearing.
one slice of bread will keep a stomach happy for half a day. after that its gone never to come back, flushed down the toilet and tomorrow everyone is to starve.
completely different things entirely
