I think millibit is confusing. mBTC, or mSatoshi should distinguish these concepts better.

Perhaps you mean decisatoshi (dSAT) or nanobitcoin (nBTC).

Anyway, I'm not worried about distinguishing these concepts.  I'm just want an idea of the communities current understanding of the term "millibit" in light of the presently fashionable term "bit".  I honestly thought I'd see more votes for "Other/Unknown/Ambiguous/Nonsensical".

We should just use the metric system and be done with it.

KBTC = 10^3BTC
mBTC = 10^-3 BTC
uBTC = 10^-6 BTC

Is that like a


Actually, I think milli-bitcoin (not millibit) is pretty much the future

BTC ? Okay.

mBTC ? Okay, 0.001 BTC

Satoshi ? Okay, the smallest unit.

mBTC will likely become extremely dominant. Near the 1000$ phase of BTC, mBTC were convenient as they had parity with the dollar.
Using decimal places will not stay forever, mBTC is easier to use. Why mBTC and not Bitcent, Bit, kiloSatoshi or whatever crap? Well, I'd attribute it to the fact that mBTC could be considered more of a unit, under which transactions rarely occur. It's not too big that you need to use decimal places too often, nor too small that you would need to talk in hundreds.
