To me it seems natural to write "1.000.000" this way maybe because of the mathematics and such i don't know Grin
Because of mathematics that's the wrong way to write it....
1.000000000000 = 1.
Can't get any simpler than that.

Of course, just use common sense. If someone wants to sell you say 1.000.000 DogeCoins for say 2 bitcoins, it's obvious he's talking about 1 million DogeCoins, not 1 DogeCoin.

Sometimes it gets frustrating, when you switch from coding to formatting some pricelist.

I wish there would be only one language in the world (english or maybe chinese/japanese) and only metric system. Screw inches and farenheit Smiley
Universal language ? Honestly, then the world would be a great place to live in Smiley
Ya, Miles per hour is very confusing too.

Oh so those guys are Russians and South Americans, eh! Thanks for the chart buddy, it helped Smiley
No. I am Western European (definitely not Russian) and I fall in the green area.

Common sense should work. If not, make sure that you're not responsible for someone else's fault.
He thinks the whole European continent is Russia. That should be enough answer.

Lol I know that western part is Europe filled with Italy, France etc. and visiting there is my dream, it was sarcasm.

I'm from India btw, I wrote "cents after decimals" so it is easy for all of you to interpret. Here it is "paisa" after decimal and rupee as you all know it is the currency here.

^This. I see it from scientifically/mathematically point of view and that is the reason 1.000.000 looks very odd to me.
Since 1.00 = 1 in maths

And yes, I think you missed that sell order where 0.0000001 DOGE sold for 1BTC which brought DOGE on #I at coinmarketcap for some time. So, this arguement of yours is wrong Tongue

in order for it to be less than 1 I guess it would have to be 0.100.000.000 rather than 100.000.000 though I've never seen numbers written that way before, most western countries, in fact most countries I've seen all use commas for whole numbers and decimals for fractions of a number?

Edit: Oh wait, people already explained it exactly like that using less numbers but you get the idea, I wonder if someone is using stupid maths, be wary of the folks who try to use mbtc or satoshis to mess with you.

1,000,000 = 1 million
1.000.000 = The number 1. No not many people use a double decimal place nor is it widely understood.

Brilliant.

Where I live it works similarly:
1,000,000 = The number 1. No not many people use a double decimal place nor is it widely understood.
1.000.000 = 1 million
