But I agree with some posters above, that the decimal should be shifted all the way to the right and not be used. I thinks the fact that bitcoins can be divided so small makes them seem silly to non bitocin users and can hinder their use in the real world, for average people. The decimal really serves no purpose since at the rate the value of BTC is climbing, in the future very few people will even be able to talk about whole bitcoins...

I second using this method. Average people are not accustomed to using currency that is divisible to the 8th decimal place. Such a change would be difficult for people to adapt to.

Agreed. There are many currencies that don't have decimal points now, and they work just fine. See yen, krw, or the Thai Baht (satang is their 'cent' but its so small!).
