I completely agree.
Naming the smallest unit in bitcoin a satoshi is like calling cps hertz.
Could the more descriptive, single syllable term, bit be used?
The easier it is, the faster the recognition and usage.
A bit means a small piece, part or quantity of something.
No one is going to confuse it for a horse's mouthpiece or the binary numeral system.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bitNot bits, just the irregular plural "bit" for both singular and plural.
Thinking in bit:
10,000,000 BTC = One Quadrillion Bit = 1,000,000,000,000,000 bit
1,000,000 BTC = One Hundred Trillion bit = 100,000,000,000,000 bit
100,000 BTC = Ten Trillion bit = 10,000,000,000,000 bit
10,000 BTC = One Trillion bit = 1,000,000,000,000 bit
1000 BTC = One Hundred Billion bit = 100,000,000,000 bit
100 BTC = Ten Billion bit = 10,000,000,000 bit
10 BTC = One Billion bit = 1,000,000,000 bit
1 BTC = One Hundred Million bit = 100,000,000 bit
0.1 BTC = Ten Million bit = 10,000,000 bit
0.01 BTC = One Million bit = 1,000,000 bit
0.001 BTC = One Hundred Thousand bit = 100,000 bit
0.0001 BTC = Ten Thousand bit = 10,000 bit
0.00001 BTC = One Thousand bit = 1,000 bit
0.000001 BTC = One Hundred bit = 100 bit
0.0000001 BTC = Ten bit = 10 bit
0.00000001 BTC = One bit = 1 bit
1 BTC = $100, $100,000 = 100,000,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000, $100,000 = 10,000,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $10000, $100,000 = 1,000,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $100000, $100,000 = 100,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000000, $100,000 = 10,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $100, $10,000 = 10,000,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000, $10,000 = 1,000,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $10000, $10,000 = 100,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $100000, $10,000 = 10,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000000, $10,000 = 1,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $100, $1000 = 1,000,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000, $1000 = 100,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $10000, $1000 = 10,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $100000, $1000 = 1,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000000, $1000 = 100,000 bit
1 BTC = $100, $100 = 100,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000, $100 = 10,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $10000, $100 = 1,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $100000, $100 = 100,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000000, $100 = 10,000 bit
1 BTC = $100, $1 = 1,000,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000, $1 = 100,000 bit
1 BTC = $10000, $1 = 10,000 bit
1 BTC = $100000, $1 = 1,000 bit
1 BTC = $1000000, $1 = 100 bit
http://redd.it/1c03ntWhy adjust to a new unit, cBTC, mBTC, etc.. every time the value increases by 10x?
P.S. No offence to Mr. Nakamoto
