It's not really a new one, though.  They just found a rather long-winded way to propose renaming "bits" to "nakamotos".  Sounds worse to me.  Imagine some crappy infomercial and they say:

"Only 39 naks and 99 sats, plus shipping and handling".

"Naks" just sound weird.  "Bits" is more recognisable and memorable.

Well yea, didn't notice that lol.

Nakamoto sounds decent because we have Satoshis, but the shortcut "naks" sounds awful. But I don't like "bits" either as "bits" is already a common word that could mean either something like "smaller bits" or  "bits" as in with relation to memory.

Eitherway, I'm not a fan of using either. Sats all the way.
