I wonder what the bitcoin community thinks about a new trend and wave. To avoid saying the name of a currency. To say 100 dolllars. You say 100 units. To say £100, one would say 100 units, 100 units in our currency, or 100 units in UK currency, and so on and so forth, for instance 100 bitcoin would be said 100 units in our currency, or 100 units in the units of bitcoin currency, or 100 units in Bitcoin. Do you think it would help phase currency units, so that one unit in most currencies would be quite close to the price of one banana or pack of crisps or peanuts?

Forget the nonsense from ChatGPT. I don't know why anyone would say "N units in Y" instead of "N Y".

Also, you seem to be suggesting that the term "unit" means a value that can vary. Again, not convenient.
