Bitcoins are fungible. In fact, there's no such thing as "a" bitcoin, they're just amounts recorded on the blockchain ledger, so they're actually perfectly fungible, even more than gold.



There is "a" satoshi though, the smallest divisible unit of bitcoin. 1 BTC = 100,000,000 Satoshi


Not in the way I meant it; like Bitcoins, Satochis don't have anything that identifies them. They're just a number in the ledger.
