Yes.
0.999...BTC = (9/10 BTC) * (1 BTC/ (1-(1/10)BTC))
0.999...BTC = (9/10 BTC) * (1 BTC/ (9/10)BTC)
0.999...BTC = (9/10 BTC) * (10 / 9 BTC) = 1

So the formula proves that 0.9999...BTC = 1 BTC.

Note: Technically, the above proof requires that some fairly advanced concepts be taken on faith. If you study "foundations" or mathematical philosophy (way after calculus), you may encounter the requisite theoretical constructs.

Maybe /biz/ will understand this an easier pre-calculus proof:

So 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1.
Reasonably then, 0.333... + 0.333... + 0.333... = 1 should also equal 1. But 3(0.333...) = 0.999.... Then 0.999... must equal 1.

1/3 does not actually equate to 0.3333. It's the closest we could get with our base 10 numerical system

>> No.2002022

>>2001909
Yes, because 0.999... is an alternative way to write 1.
It doesn't matter though because bitcoins can only be divided to 8 decimal places.

I didn't think some retard would assume that I was and not just too lazy to right the fucking ...

It's not an alternative way they are different concepts
