You need to understand that in the protocol the unit is the satoshi and the value is just the number of those. Having 8 decimal places in Bitcoin is just the wallet's way of displaying that; it's not doing floating point maths in the protocol. As a consequence it really doesn't matter where you put the decimal point as these are just abstract numbers.
 
The protocol name is Bitcoin, thanks. Not SatoshiCoin. The unit is Bitcoin and the decimals are called unnoficially satoshis. Cmon... O_O

Hopefully you can see that if the supply limit is a problem then a coin with a supply 476 times higher probably isn't going to be enough.
#BecauseIsaySo O_O Actually yes, i think its going to be enough, thats why i proposed that in first place.
I have explained myself sufficiently. One BTC for every person in the planet. With enough fractional power to be ultra manageable. Yes, i do care about the last person in Haiti. Because ultimately, this is a push of the technology to reshape the current financial conditions of everyone, at least is what i think.

I agree with you on one thing, though.This conversation is pointless but hey, we are just hanging out here in the forum :-)
