So the underlying question is "what unit should we switch to now", correct? 
I'm a Bit hater for a few reasons...

[...]

If we drop "Coin" for less syllables, "centibit" or "millibit" are much better candidates.
"I just bought 100 millibits for 40 bucks!" ... "I just bought 100,000 bits for 40 bucks!" is a little excessive.

"hundred milli bits"

Five syllables.

"hundred thousand bits"

Five syllables.

"ten million sats"

Four syllables. Wink

Even better yet: I bought 10 mil sats - 3 syllables

Like it's been said, people don't like fractions, and are impressed with large numbers, this incorporates both.
