🤔 there are some generally good arguments for this, namely the perception of accessibility. I also have experienced the confusion from the uninitiated regarding bitcoin, and the perception that it is "out of reach" or "too late." A potential unintended consequence of this change however would be a devalued perception of bitcoin. "Strong" fungible currencies more often than not have subunits. Interestingly, the only fungible monetary instruments without subunits are highly inflated currencies where a singular unit is useless for economic use (VES, ZWL, LBP, TRY, ARS, IRR, SDG, SYP, AOA, ETB, HUF, DONG, etc) USD United States Dollar dollar cent EUR Euro euro cent GBP British Pound Sterling pound penny JPY Japanese Yen yen sen (obsolete, rarely used) CNY Chinese Yuan Renminbi yuan jiao/fen INR Indian Rupee rupee paise AUD Australian Dollar dollar cent CAD Canadian Dollar dollar cent CHF Swiss Franc franc rappen RUB Russian Ruble ruble kopeck BRL Brazilian Real real centavo MXN Mexican Peso peso centavo ZAR South African Rand rand cent NZD New Zealand Dollar dollar cent KRW South Korean Won won jeon (rare) SEK Swedish Krona krona öre NOK Norwegian Krone krone øre DKK Danish Krone krone øre TRY Turkish Lira lira kuruş THB Thai Baht baht satang SAR Saudi Riyal riyal halala AED UAE Dirham dirham fils PKR Pakistani Rupee rupee paisa EGP Egyptian Pound pound piastre NGN Nigerian Naira naira kobo The subunits have had no effect on the majority of the population's ability to understand the difference between units and subunits. Nuclear option probably not necessary.
