How Much Is Bitcoin Worth? Understanding BTC Value

Bitcoin's price fluctuates constantly. Here's how to understand its value and what it means for lottery play.

Checking Bitcoin's Current Price

Reliable sources for current Bitcoin prices:

• CoinGecko: coingecko.com
• CoinMarketCap: coinmarketcap.com
• Exchange prices: Coinbase, Kraken, etc.

Prices vary slightly between exchanges - this is normal.

Understanding Units

• 1 BTC: One whole Bitcoin
• 1 satoshi (sat): 0.00000001 BTC (100 millionth of a Bitcoin)
• 1 mBTC: 0.001 BTC (one thousandth)

For lottery entries on platforms like Daily Thunder, you're paying in satoshis - the smallest Bitcoin unit.

Entry Cost Calculations

At different Bitcoin prices, 1 satoshi costs:

• Bitcoin at $50,000: 1 sat = $0.0005
• Bitcoin at $100,000: 1 sat = $0.001

Even if Bitcoin's price doubles, 1 satoshi lottery entries remain extremely affordable.

Why Price Matters for Winnings

Lottery payouts are in satoshis, so:

• If you win 100,000 sats, its USD value depends on Bitcoin's price
• If you hold your winnings and Bitcoin appreciates, they become worth more
• Conversely, Bitcoin price drops reduce fiat value

Volatility Considerations

Bitcoin can move 5-10% or more in a single day. This means:

• Entry costs in USD terms fluctuate
• Winnings value changes constantly
• Long-term holders may benefit from appreciation

For Lottery Players

At 1 satoshi per entry, price volatility barely affects your cost. Whether Bitcoin is at $50,000 or $100,000, you're spending fractions of a penny to play.
