... satoshi instead (click-bait master)  Cool

today someone came to me saying how he was regretting not listening to me and investing in bitcoin. apparently he checked the price this morning Cheesy
and he continued that now it is too late since he can not buy 1 whole bitcoin.

i had to sit him down and have the "talk" with him about all the 8 more zeros that come after the 1 whole bitcoin and the fact that he can choose (almost) any of them and put a number and buy there.

that is why i think it is time to start using the smaller units for bitcoin more often.

i myself prefer Satoshi over all. but there are a lot of them.

most popular:
mBTC= 0.00100000BTC
uBTC=bits= 0.00000100BTC
satoshi=0.00000001BTC

True that, you have a valid point out there. I have myself faced this problem, people go berserk when they hear the price. Even gold is pricey but you absolutely do not buy the while bar, you buy bits or grams of it. Maybe if the word satoshi's are used more often that will help them to understand that they to can enjoy it. I will use this next time will post the results here, will get more positive responses, I feel.
