Why I'm switching to mXBT — and why you should too

"bits" is my first thought too, and I like it the most. But, if bitcoin takes hold, the market will ultimately decide what expression we use.
My vote goes to "bits" though. And I will use it until nobody understands me.

I also like the way "bits" rolls off the tongue. Also for the idea of putting it halfway between satoshis and bitcoins. When "bits" goes obsolete, satoshis will work perfectly.

Even a large number of satoshis would work better than a fraction of a bitcoin. Having traveled in other countries with high rates of inflation, most people don't seem to have trouble with large numbers. It is fractions of a unit that seem to give most non-mathematicians problems.

Besides, you can still buy a million satoshis for less than $2. Perfect selling point to those who are new to bitcoin.

Did this gain any traction?

Why don't you tie it in with world bitcoin day.

I am totally over BTC, long live mBTC / mXBT

BTC can be exclusively for the rich folk lucky enough to own so many mBTC!

I'm down to start talking in mXBT, for all the reasons stated and more.

The only way it's gonna stick, though, is if you start using it casually in all of your posts, not just in this thread. Only once it becomes pervasive on bitcointalk will it start spreading to other sites. Let's do this!!!
