Who would want to say "this item costs 0.0000000001 bitcoin" compared to "this costs a dollar"? No one.

So no, people do not want to deal with decimal points. They like dealing with whole numbers. I'd like to see someone go to a bank and request $0.00023 dollars. lol

This isn't the dollar, bub Grin  And besides, they're completely different.  $.00023 will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, be worth the dirt on your feet.  A single Bitcoin encompasses tens, to hundreds of dollars.  A fraction of a fraction of a Bitcoin is equal to a dollar.

People would call it something different if it came to that.  You seem very sure of yourself for someone who shouldn't be.  Besides, there's no way we'd whittle down to 1 BTC considering the last Bitcoin will be minted sometime after you're dead.  Nobody's gonna lose all 21 million coins, I guarantee it.
