Can someone please answer me this. If a Bitcoin is worth +$1000 and I want to buy an item worth $50. How does one receive change?

  They are divisible into 100,000,000 parts. So you can pay for a $50 item with 0.05 BTC and still have 0.95 BTC in your wallet to spend.

    Thank you, I did not know that. So once split I guess the likely hood is that the coin will never be whole again.

      If you get sent another 0.05 BTC to your wallet, you will have a 1 BTC balance again. The single unit (1 Bitcoin) is just an arbitary measurement.
