 I think sats makes more sense, its too bad bitcoin isnt on the metric scale though, we should have 1 sat, 1ksat, 1msat, 1gsat=1bitcoin. Lost opportunity.

 100 million was chosen because it's the nearest 0 to 64 bits.

 2,100,000,000,000,000 is the total max supply of sats

18,446,744,073,709,551,615 is the maximum value of an unsigned 64 bit integer.

I forget now. It's been a long time since I looked at the bitcoin code.
