1 bitcoin = 1,000,000 bits

It's a clear and obvious choice, and that's why it's being adopted by some of the larger players.

I've yet to see an argument against it that doesn't inadvertently argue for it.


It is nonsense, but that doesn't mean it won't be used.   "bits" doesn't imply 1000000 and if you saw it without a key you couldn't figure it out.

1 BTC = 1,000,000 uBTC

That is clear and obvious to most people in the world.  Many will use the metric system but it is so simple to use.



Why wouldn't you be able to figure it out?

And why does adding a 'u' in front of BTC mean you would....is that how you talk in your daily life?


"hey honey, i just ran 1000000000 uMETERS today"....

Frankly you are taking like a 13 year old.   (I know I have one.)   Most people in the world understand SI units and prefixes.
