'uBTC' & '?'



Thanks Portnoy, all added.Although I have a question;'mBTC' & 'BTM''uBTC' & '?'

'BTM' isn't really used, and I've never seen an alternative for 'uBTC' other simply expanding it. A uBTC has also been refered to as a "Gavin" in the same manner that a "Satoshi" is equal to 0.00000001 BTC, but this is confusing for several reasons not worht mentioing.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

I've seen both used. The latter pronounced "bitmill". ( used in the Dragon's Tale MMO casino among other places )



Quote 'uBTC' & '?'



Should actually be μBTC right... although most people would use a "u" instead of trying to figure out how to do "μ" on their keyboards.



I haven't seen that used much and haven't seen any BT[ ] equivalent, but perhaps would be: BTμ ( bitmic? )

and no doubt wouldn't get used much because it looks so much like the acronym for "British Thermal Unit". I've seen both used. The latter pronounced "bitmill".
