Interesting proposal John. While I understand the normie adoption
psychology behind redenominating in inexpensive smaller units, what are the
global mindshare ramifications of REDEFINING 1 BTC? The concern is the
entire body of knowledge amassed through today (social posts, articles,
books, videos etc) with references to existing denominal units bifurcates.
