This feels too based in the present and may lead to the illusion of inflation should the smallest indivisible unit someday be divided. Under this BIP, the value of a #bitcoin would be forced to change again when the smallest unit changes, essentially leading to

1. A series of 10^i "stock splits" from the perspective of #bitcoin as unit of account

2. A future BIP to amend this BIP

I get the "wholecoin bias" that nocoiners often get caught up in, but a top-down unit nomenclature change feels confusing and not in the spirit of Satoshi's vision. Not to mention the "menu cost" and potential bugs & confusion of every wallet, exchange, etc updating to align with this BIP.

In short: Let the masses decide #nostr
