You want to discuss the contradiction? Then discuss the contradiction. The original post talks about proposing XBT = microbitcoin, which is irrelevant in what Matonis said.

This is funny, because this was what was in the original post:

Conclusion: What Mr. Matonis has released on 10/21 is in clear contradiction with the prior Press-release of the Bitcoin Foundation.

OK. First, he says that Bitcoin = Bitcoin so that we don't cause confusion. Then, he says that 8 decimal places are still confusing for common people, and that the working group will recommend Bitcoin subunits.

I don't see how that's a contradiction. He still wants to maintain Bitcoin as the main currency, just not use the 8 decimal places as the common subunit.

We still get to name it, but try not to pick a confusing name. Why is that so hard?
