If Satoshi wanted the currency units named after him, he would simply<br>
have done it. I think this behaviour seems creepy and is harmful to<br>
Bitcoin.<br>
<br>
&gt; The lightning network uses satoshis as a base unit.<br>
<br>
It absolutely does not. Lightning uses units of 10 picobitcoin (1e-11<br>
