Yep. And 1 Satoshi isn't even a comically small amount of money anymore like it used to be. 1000 sat = 0.30 USD. Might not be that long before a protocol upgrade is necessary to subdivide the Satoshi further.

I'd kinda like to see Sats go up about 2 orders of magnitude.. I know its not possible - but a Sat. equal to a penny or 10 sats to a penny would just make the math so easy :-P
