This is usually dismissed by them and I suppose its human nature to want 1 or more of something rather than a piece.

Yes, human nature, but still non-sensical.

Suppose I finally own 1.0 btc, but then I want to purchase something for 0.02 btc. If I purchase it, should I now be sad that I don't own a whole bitcoin anymore?

See this why most average people get left behind on almost everything. Because their internal system of rationality is deeply flawed.

It reminds me of the whole "Oh I want to be a millionaire^TM!" saying. Like having a million dollars really means what it used to 30-40 years ago. And like you should feel sad if you only have $990K, because technically you're not a millionaire.

Yep... look at Torque.... Shocked

Speaking da true!!!! Cheesy

I will concede that I had some misconceptions about buying bitcoins in one unit and having to treat them as whole units, and sure it took me a day or so to get that bullshit thinking out of my then BTC newbie head... so yeah, if people really want to attempt to use their brain, like a person, rather than a chimpanzee, then they should be able to figure the shit out.

And, we actually do find that lots of people do figure this shit out, and if they want to get left behind and if demand for BTC and the price stays down (for a while) because of this, then those of us who have figured it out are going to be able to buy "cheaper coins"^tm because we were willing to expend 5-30 minutes of human (rather than chimpanzee) brain power on figuring out the divisibility of unit topic. Cheesy
