Maybe we should split the bitcoins in inches or feet? Hardly anyone in the world is using the metric system, right...?

I agree, the metric system is way too confusing. Lets use degrees instead of feet though. We can then split a bitcoin into 360 separate units called degree bitcoins, or dBTC. Then dBTC can each be split into 60 minutes per degree and 60 seconds per minute.

That is way easier than this metric system fad.

Guys... why do we need to reinvent the wheel??

It's simple! This stuff has been worked out.

Answer: We adopt the same system as the English pounds shillings and pennies.

Adopt a system designed for currency, duh!!!

1 bitPound = 20 bitShillings
1 bitShilling = 12bitPennies
1 bitPenny = 2halfpennies or 4bitFarthings

2 bitfarthings = 1 bithalfpenny
2 bithalfpence = 1 bitpenny (1d)
3 bitpence = 1 bitthruppence (3d)
6 bitpence = 1 bitsixpence (a 'tanner') (6d)
12 bitpence = 1 bitshilling (a bob) (1s)
2 bitshillings = 1 bitflorin ( a 'two bob bit') (2s)
2 bitshillings and 6 bitpence = 1 half bitcrown (2s 6d)
5 bitshillings = 1 bitCrown (5s)

Couldn't be simpler... why all this confusing metric stuff???

At these rates we're near 1bitpenny = 1USD. A perfect conversion rate.
