[X] micros or mics

just like dollar <-> cents ("cent" just means 1/100, it isn't "centdollar")

bitcoin <-> micros (1 millionth)

There can also be intermediary "millies" (1 thousandth of a bitcoin)

I believe if they're officially called millibitcoins and microbitcoins, "millies" and "micros" will become colloquially common anyway in every-day street language.

Yep.
So just leave it alone and it will work out well.

"ubit" sounds simple and different. It could become the next big thing... or not. We'll have to see. Bit is unacceptable in my opinion.

Forever strong.
