what needs to be done imo is do away with the comma and when doing this call the lowerst amount possible a bitcoint. we can then call the current BTC a satoshi. The current btc is just 100,000,000 units of the smallest amount anyway. Thats we are trading on the exchanges. Its 100,000,000 units of the smallest amount atm. and the smallest amount should of course be called a bitcoin? makes most sense imo
then there would be almost 2.1 quadrillion bitcoins in existence and noone will ask wether there will be enough for everybody anymore..
What's wrong with satoshi anyway? You can have 1 satoshi, 1 kilosatoshi (1000 satoshis), 1 megasatoshi (1 million satoshis), etc. How much does a soda cost? One megasatoshi! (That's $1.42 at the current exchange rate, by the way.)
I don't really see how tiny units of a currency makes it sound bad or not "empowering". What if I said a soda cost $0.00142 instead of $1.42? Or in other words, you can buy 1000 sodas for $1.42. To me, that would be more empowering because a dollar in that scenario is very valuable and can buy a lot. It sounds better (to me) than saying a soda costs $1420; a single dollar would be almost worthless.
you car cost 10 decadollars, and you soda cost 1milidollar. that is confusing and you need to learn which is worth more than the other. with kilo, mega, giga ALOT of people already know which is above the other. and the decimal places are not practical. how are you going to compare prices with that shit? imagine going to the grocery store and seeing prices all in those $0,00003 you would get tired very fast. the reason the smallest amount should be called bitcoin is because its more in line with the reality. i mean why do you want to call bitcoin satoshi all of a sudden? 1 megasatoshi? wtf? it should be megabitcoin
