Just use BTC or satoshi (0.00000001) like in:

I just bought a car for 10 BTC!
The new Final Fantasy game will cost only 15000 satoshi!

Using mBTC, uBTC, μBTC is just unnecessary, sounds like a different coin and it will confuse a lot of people.

Coinedup and a few other sites are guilty of using mBTC.

1 satoshi is the smallest unit of BTC that's all people should have to learn. If you want massive user adoption you have to simplify things.

With satoshi being such a small unit I prefer bits being added as well. I agree that mBTC and Ubtc etc. are a little confusing.  


Bits are confusing and should be avoided at all costs, take your non-metric systems somewhere else Americans. I'm getting real tired of your made-up measurements.

I hate how everyone talks about bits as if it's a thing, without bringing up the countless topics against bits. Also there are many better names than bit.
