About WishCoin

WishCoin is a small, free reference for Bitcoin units: BTC, mBTC, bits and satoshis. What the site does, who writes it and why it never shows coin prices.

Updated

WishCoin answers one narrow question well: how much is this amount of bitcoin in another unit? The converter on the front page turns BTC into millibitcoin, bits and satoshis and back again, and the text around it shows the arithmetic so you can check it yourself. It is a free tool with no sign-up.

Why a unit converter

Bitcoin amounts carry up to eight decimal places, and a misplaced zero can send ten times more than you meant. Wallets, exchanges, fee estimators and Lightning apps also label amounts differently: one shows 0.0005 BTC, another 50,000 sats, a third 500 bits. Having all four side by side removes the guesswork. Our satoshi guide goes deeper into the smallest unit, from fee rates in sat/vB to the millisatoshis used on Lightning.

What you will not find here

  • No prices. Fiat exchange rates change by the second. A static page cannot keep up, so we leave market prices to live data sources.
  • No investment advice. Nothing on the site suggests buying, selling or holding any asset.
  • No wallet or exchange services. WishCoin never holds coins, asks for keys or processes payments.
  • No gambling content. This is a reference site about units, nothing more.

Who writes the pages

Articles appear under a single byline, the WishCoin Editorial Team. We do not present invented experts or credentials. Each page lists its sources instead, chosen from primary material where it exists: the Bitcoin white paper, the Bitcoin Core source code and release notes, and the Bitcoin Improvement Proposals that define units such as bits.

How the site is funded

WishCoin carries no paid placements and no sponsored content, and nobody pays for a mention. Running costs are covered by the operator of this website. If that ever changes, any commercial link will be labelled and this page updated.

Corrections and contact

Unit maths does not change, but explanations can always get clearer, and mistakes happen. If you spot an error, tell us through the contact page and include a source if you have one. How we handle the limited data the site processes is set out in the privacy policy.
