It’s out of the question to literally move the decimal point, and goblin didn’t mean it literally.
Two things we can do are to (a) expose more of the existing precision in the user interface, and (b) see if we can agree on terminology and notation.
We have previously discussed notation without an apparent conclusion. I would like to suggest an alternative notation that has not yet been proposed.
I suggest the following:
One bitcoin equals 100 bitcents
One bitcent equals one thousand millicents
One bitcent equals one million microcents
By subdividing the bitcent rather than the bitcoin, we neatly end up with a name for the tiniest piece of bitdust, i.e. 1/100000000 of a bitcoin.
No doubt in time nicknames would arise for these small units. I like “austrian” and “satoshi” as possible nicknames
