Jan 14, 2014 - A Satoshi is the smallest fraction of a Bitcoin that can currently be sent: 0.00000001 BTC, that is, a hundredth of a millionth BTC. In the future, however, the protocol may be updated to allow further subdivisions, should they be needed.

But, why do we care about a Satoshi❓

Answer: It's because most of us do not spend one whole BitCoin as a currency❗

In round numbers - IF one BitCoin ever gets to be worth $1,000,000 (one million dollars), then one Satoshi will be worth exactly one cent - i.e. 1 Satoshi = 1 ¢❗

But, we are not there - not yet❗

At current prices of around $10,000 per BitCoin, 10,000 Satoshi = $1 and 100 Satoshi = 1 ¢❗

Remember these current values (10,000 Satoshi = $1) and not be fooled into placing too much value on a lot of Satoshi❗
