Bits are the smallest parts of the Bitcoin.

Some members are using "Satoshi" unit instead of "bit" but 1 "satoshi" means 10−8 ( 0.00000001 BTC ) not 1mBTC ...

Offtopic: Is it possible that you're operating under the assumption that a "bit" represents 0.000 000 01 BTC = 1 satoshi?  This has been proposed before but the notion failed to gain traction.  The most popular interpretation is that a "bit" should represent precisely 1 microbitcoin = 0.000 001 BTC = 100 satoshi.

Whynot use Satoshi instead. I used calling smaller amount of btc as satoshi and not milli.

so for you 1mBTC = 1 Satoshi??

So you are double wrong Smiley

Some members are using "Satoshi" unit instead of "bit" but 1 "satoshi" means 10−8 ( 0.00000001 BTC ) not 1mBTC ...

1mBTC = 0.001BTC  = 10−3BTC

Anyway..

Regards.

I spell it as "mbtc" like "ubtc" and "btc". You can see spelling it differently may confuse somebody plus i am just a newbie in bitcoin world.

...I have been saying "Milli-Meter", "Milli-Amps" but I can't get round saying "Milli-Bitcoin". I don't know why?  Cheesy
...Would you also read "4 BTC" as "four bee-tee-see" rather than "four bitcoins"?

No, I say "four bitcoins" and not "four bee-tee-see". I think it has to do with the "C" syllable in bitcoin. The "C" makes it difficult to chain words and still rolls off the tongue.

For those who are confused with mBTC uBTC etc..

Satoshi will be very happy if we will use the right form.

Bits are the smallest parts of the Bitcoin.

mBTC   contain BTC so ...

It is not milli bit :-)

Kind regards

There isn't such a thing as mBTC like there isn't such a thing as milli dollars, or milli euros. (although given todays BTC/USD price tag mbtc is practical)

BTC, bits and satoshis and that's all. Unfortunately some sites insist on adding confusion by using mBTC which has been rejected by the vast majority of the bitcoin community.

Nice question/post

Thanks.

I voted for "em-bee-tee-see". Bitcoin is a strange unit. I have been saying "Milli-Meter", "Milli-Amps" but I can't get round saying "Milli-Bitcoin". I don't know why?  Cheesy

Interesting.  I'm surprised that there are so many votes for "twenty em-bee-tee-see".

Would you also read "4 BTC" as "four bee-tee-see" rather than "four bitcoins"?
