Denominating Bitcoin amounts

[solomon]

I've never heard of using BTM, but i like it. So it's BTC, BTM and BTU(?)

[Peter Lambert]

And "millie" is certainly easier to say than "bee-tee-em", much as the latter's grown on me.

I don't get the logic for BTM.   mBTC sounds way simpeler to me.

BTM is 3 letters mBTC is 4.  Bitmill is easy to say, and many sites already incorporate it - it also is precisely the same thing but less scary for non-metric familiar users.   IMHO the bitmill/BTM is here to stay

We don't say Litermill or metermill, it is milliliter and millimeter. The best way to do it is say millibit, or officially, the millibitcoin. The abreviation could be changed to mB if you think mBTC is too long.

It could go in the other direction as well.

10,000 BTC =  Pizza

[Zangelbert Bingledack]

"Bitcents" is easiest.

100 bitcents = 1 bitcoin.

100 BCT = 1 BTC

[Peter Lambert]

100 BCT = 1 BTC

Are you trying to have all the dyslexic people loose all their money? I never liked BTC (we should be using the abbreviation XBC) but BCT is just plain horrible.

I just never liked the name Bitcoin. Its one of those words that gets old fast and ever more irritating, like moist. Adding geeky metric prefixes doesn't help. Can't we tap into scifi literature for better names for these denominations? Even Quatloos has a better ring to it! Maybe it's just me.

Yep, it's just you 

[Zangelbert Bingledack]

I never liked the name either. It feels cheap. We could just rename it.

In fact, I usually just call them coins nowadays, in casual conversation.

Most Americans don't understand the concept of metric prefixes

Then they better start using their brain and learn that.

Or stop using bitcoin because if they can't understand what milli or micro means, they clearly are unable to understand how to use bitcoins 

Exactly, this is why US is going downhill (if it is) and they do use metric in some examples.

mBTC
uBTC
nBTC

is the way this is going.

but I think by then, we may be using LTC/TRC for daily transaction BTC for the big stuff/golde 2.0 reserve of BTC

or BTC client/BC will have forked to allow much faster transaction

Bitmill sounds easier to say IMO.

I still like milliBits, I am going to abreviate them mB from now on. Who is with me?

The USD currently sells for about 10.5 mB.

Yeah, I like mB a lot better than mBTC too. Putting a prefix in front of the currency code always looked awkward to me, I've never seen that for other currencies.
