 Regarding the infinite bitcoin-> sats pizza question..

Bitcoin = 21 million x 100 million
= 2.1 trillion max pieces

Dollars = 2.6 Trillion (USD in circulation) x 100 pennies
= 260 Trillion max pieces

If Bitcoin is ‘infinite’ because of the total sats is so many, USD is more than 100x more infinite! That’s not including the debt!

 Not at the paid version 4o here 

The total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million bitcoins. Each bitcoin is divisible into 100,000,000 Satoshis. To find the total number of Satoshis in the total supply of Bitcoin, you multiply the total number of bitcoins by the number of Satoshis per bitcoin:

\[ 21,000,000 \text{ bitcoins} \times 100,000,000 \text{ Satoshis/bitcoin} = 2,100,000,000,000,000 \text{ Satoshis} \]

So, the total bitcoin supply has 2,100,000,000,000,000 Satoshis.

How to pronounce that number? 

The number 2,100,000,000,000,000 is pronounced as:

"Two quadrillion, one hundred trillion."

So, you can say:

"Two quadrillion, one hundred trillion Satoshis."

 Possible, 
This was my question:
How many Satoshis has the total bitcoin supply?

 use perplexity.ai with the Wolfram Alpha focus mode for any math beyond simple arithmetic

 Over here trying to make microsats happen, already needed when charging a spread on lightning fees which are denominated in millisats

Or course this isn't on bitcoin... Yet 😈

 That's what the math says, but is it correct?

 *USD is CURRENTLY 100x more infinite, we all know that USD is actually infinite since they print..

 FFS, use your phone's calculator. I'm a low skilled construction worker and I still see the mistake.
