1,000,000 = 1 million
1.000.000 = The number 1. No not many people use a double decimal place nor is it widely understood.

Brilliant.

Where I live it works similarly:
1,000,000 = The number 1. No not many people use a double decimal place nor is it widely understood.
1.000.000 = 1 million

in order for it to be less than 1 I guess it would have to be 0.100.000.000 rather than 100.000.000 though I've never seen numbers written that way before, most western countries, in fact most countries I've seen all use commas for whole numbers and decimals for fractions of a number?

Edit: Oh wait, people already explained it exactly like that using less numbers but you get the idea, I wonder if someone is using stupid maths, be wary of the folks who try to use mbtc or satoshis to mess with you.

To me it seems natural to write "1.000.000" this way maybe because of the mathematics and such i don't know Grin
Because of mathematics that's the wrong way to write it....
1.000000000000 = 1.
Can't get any simpler than that.

Of course, just use common sense. If someone wants to sell you say 1.000.000 DogeCoins for say 2 bitcoins, it's obvious he's talking about 1 million DogeCoins, not 1 DogeCoin.

Sometimes it gets frustrating, when you switch from coding to formatting some pricelist.

I wish there would be only one language in the world (english or maybe chinese/japanese) and only metric system. Screw inches and farenheit Smiley
Universal language ? Honestly, then the world would be a great place to live in Smiley
Ya, Miles per hour is very confusing too.

Oh so those guys are Russians and South Americans, eh! Thanks for the chart buddy, it helped Smiley
No. I am Western European (definitely not Russian) and I fall in the green area.

Common sense should work. If not, make sure that you're not responsible for someone else's fault.
He thinks the whole European continent is Russia. That should be enough answer.

Lol I know that western part is Europe filled with Italy, France etc. and visiting there is my dream, it was sarcasm.

I'm from India btw, I wrote "cents after decimals" so it is easy for all of you to interpret. Here it is "paisa" after decimal and rupee as you all know it is the currency here.

^This. I see it from scientifically/mathematically point of view and that is the reason 1.000.000 looks very odd to me.
Since 1.00 = 1 in maths

And yes, I think you missed that sell order where 0.0000001 DOGE sold for 1BTC which brought DOGE on #I at coinmarketcap for some time. So, this arguement of yours is wrong Tongue

Considering China, USA, Japan, India, and Australia all use a period '.' for decimal places, it's clear who the winner is.

1,000,000 = 1 million
1.000.000 = The number 1. No not many people use a double decimal place nor is it widely understood.


"winner"? Lol.  By that logic, forget English as language, its clear that Mandarin is the winner, followed by Spanish.

Now pls rewrite your post in Mandarin. You may also want to start saying the year is 4000 something instead of 2013.

However I was taught in school that if there is a decimal it means the value after that would be in cents.
So, I would always write 1 million as 1,000,000

All what should be teach at school is use brain. Seriously, anything that make sence works, like
1 000 000


School not teach brain, teach only US, is not know about outside world, savages, using decimals wrong!



yea most of US not now too much about world they mostly done about there local system which is some complicated for other some other countries

Like how we still haven't converted to the metric system?  Cheesy

I always wondered about this. Metric system beats the US system. All this trouble with mph, inches, feet, gallons etc.
