I know it means millibitcoins but I read it as em-bee-tee-cee.

Millibitcoins is too hard to say.

Ninja edit: All these options are too hard to say.

usually twenty millibitcoins
sometimes mbtc

I read it the way it should be read by anyone: milli bitcoins

twenty millibitcoins as 20mbtc as 0.020 don't even know you can call it all that.

em-bits. It means nothing to me, it's just a string I keep forgetting what it means. I still go to a conversion site to understand how many BTC are there.

Twenty MilliBitcoins. However I believe there is a much more efficient way. I never had to say it aloud so I haven't thought too much about it yet.

Nice question/post

I read "20mBTC" in this way: 20 mBTC. But when I talk with people and they don't understand what I say, I say 20 Em-Bi-Ti-Si  ;D ;D ;D ;D

"Twenty moronbitcoins" because I am too much of a moron to denominate in anything other than full BTC.

you missed out "eleventy-four bitbadgers"

I read it as 20 millibits in my head

Lol I read it as "20 milli-Bee-Tee-See"

twenty em-bee-tee-cee for me

twenty bitmill (no s)

Voted for twenty bitmills anyway

Results of this poll are terryfying... noone really knows ; >

I read "twenty millibitcoins" because easy to spell too :)

Why wouldn't you call it 2 cBTC?

I read it as 20 MegaBitcoin, why turn to the tiny side of things. A Megabitcoin perhaps is 100 bitcoins  :D

Add to the poll.

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?  :D

Same as you... ;D ;D

i spell twenty millibitcoins
but to make it easy i use twenty mBTC

you should add this to poll options

Thanks.


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"?

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.

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

twenty millibitcoins

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

For me its 20 milli bitcoins.

I read it 20 mBTC

I read it as 0.02 btc and sometime 20mbtc.

Yeah it twenty millibitcoins.

tuh wen nuh tey mil luh eeh bit see coh eeh en nuhs

20 millies

 ;)

Of course twenty em-bee-tee-see because it's written 20 mbtc.

mmmmmm Bitcoin as in yummy yummy

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 (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1bzwep/can_we_throw_out_the_word_satoshi_and_use_bit/) 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.

I just add vowels to make it easier.

I call em 20 MobTocs

I read it as 20mBTC , rofl :p since I never speak with anyone IRL about bitcoin :p
