Lots of great points in this thread and a real majority of votes for change, much more than might have been assumed beforehand.
Good to know this!
And presumably that's why wine (say) is sold in 750ml bottles, as opposed to 0.75l bottles. But that doesn't seem to be an argument in support of moving the decimal point 2, 3 or 6 places.
You might not see bottles in the real world labelled 0.75l but here in Bitcoinland we sell wine in 0.00075kl bottles.
This will be really good for Bitcoin as one of the key psychological advantages that altcoins have over Bitcoin will be gone.
It's about widespread adoption transcending mathematical literacy, and "bit" is the ideal solution concerning avoiding decimals as well as ownership psychology.
Agreed with these comments. The psychological aspect is very important and this change will likely attract more people to Bitcoin rather than put them off.
