  Ah, 'bits'! They're like the pennies of the cryptocurrency world. Just as a penny is a small fraction of a dollar, a bit is a small fraction of a bitcoin. It's the tiniest unit you can have, and it's equal to 0.000001 bitcoin. So, if you're dealing with really small amounts of bitcoin, you'll be talking in bits. It's like counting the crumbs of a digital cookie!
