Title: Should Bitcoin do a 1000:1 split? Post by: daweller on November 08, 2017, 05:36:56 AM This would make anyone with less than 1btc seem cooler.
ie. Greg has .3 bitcoins. He tells his date, Mary, " hey babe, I have .3 bitcoins, so we can have fun tonight " Mary rolls her eyes. But, if btc split 1000:1, then Greg could say " hey baby, I got 300 bitcoins " and she would reply " Oh my, you are so sexy " Thoughts? Title: Re: Should Bitcoin do a 1000:1 split?

Pre-split, it's called "Bitcoin" (and uses the abbreviation BTC). Post split, it's called "milliBitcoin" (and uses the abbreviation mBTC). So, Greg can already today tell is date Mary, "Hey baby, I got 300 milliBitcoins" Title: Re: Should Bitcoin do a 1000:1 split?

She says, "You're an idiot if you think that impresses me. I've been hodling 100 BTC since 2012." Title: Re: Should Bitcoin do a 1000:1 split?

It will still be like saying "Hey, I have 300 cents". Title: Re: Should Bitcoin do a 1000:1 split?

No matter how we may want to change how it is to be called, the fact is that talking to someone who does not have any inkling on Bitcoin can be akin to talking to a rock. So what should we do..? Don't give someone a sum of Bitcoin instead convert it into the dollar equivalent unless of course your date happens to be another Bitcoin enthusiast then you can both be talking on the same table. Don't say you have 1 Bitcoin...say that you have $7,000 and you are willing to give it all to her...right? |
