I'm not sure if this is the right place for this topic - it's either here or the general Bitcoin discussion forum.
Personally, I find these micro bitcoin terms to be more confusing than useful. I mean, one of the fundamental features of bitcoin is that it goes out to eight decimal places. So why even use separate terms for smaller amounts? I think 0.0006 BTC is much more clear than x mBTC. Either way, you're working in decimals, so why create multiple units?
I just think it's much more clear to either say everything is 0.0006 BTC, or alternatively 6 satoshis, than to invent all these other units that one has to keep track of.
