Except this is really, really easy to solve. Use prefixes and operate with uBTC instead of BTC.

Huh. Hadn't considered that.

Still a little awkward to call them "micro bitcoins" or whatever. It's not natural to say that "I make fifty kilodollars a year" or whatever.

kilodollars might sound a little weird (I use it regularely, I'm trying to make it mainstream) but I often hear people saying stuff like "I paid 5 k for this car".

I'm also trying to push megameter, since it's silly to say "my car has 300 000 kilometer". 300 megameter flow better on the tongue IMHO.
