Why does one have to be zealous to understand bitcoins are divisible up to eight decimal places? A single bitcoin is really 100,000,000 bitcoin "satoshis" (1.00000000). "Satoshis" being the smallest unit (0.00000001).

So, there really are 2,100,000,000,000,000 bitcoin units. When you purchase a single "bitcoin", you really are purchasing 100,000,000 "satoshis".
