Is the value of "satoshi" fixed or dynamic? BitCoin Wiki (Transactions) states:


  ...1 BTC = 100,000,000 Satoshi...


Yet BitCoin Wiki (FAQ) states:


  ..."satoshi"... is smallest denomination currently possible


In the future when the protocol decides to support more decimal places, will the value of "satoshi" change to match the smallest denomination then possible?

Or will the value of "satoshi" fixed at 0.00000001 BTC?
The value of a Satoshi is fixed.

The key word is "currently" (smallest currently possible).

If the divisibility is ever increased, a Satoshi will still be exactly 0.00000001 BTC, even though there exists unit representing an even smaller amount.

There would need to be new names for these new denominations that are even smaller than a Satoshi, but dSatoshi (1/10th of a Satoshi), cSatoshi (1/100th of a satoshi), and mSatoshi (1/1000th of a Satoshi), would likely suffice.
