Why There's No Real "Minimum"
Bitcoin is divisible to 8 decimal places. One Bitcoin = 100,000,000 satoshis. This means:
- $20 buys approximately 20,000 satoshis at current prices
- $100 buys approximately 100,000 satoshis
- There is no technical minimum for Bitcoin ownership
The practical minimum at 1Bitcoin.ca is $20 CAD — set to ensure transactions are economically viable after fees.
