Bit is an easier to remember unit when compared to other longer unit names and acronyms: 100 bits instead of 100 microbitcoins/100 μBTC/1 millibitcoin/1 mBTC).

OBS

bit: not to be confused with the binary unit "bit" in computing.

Il n'y a donc pas de problème d'accessibilité du bitcoin même si sa valeur devrait grimper très fortement. On pourrait toujours payer en milli-bitcoins, en micro-bitcoins ou en tout autre division de la monnaie.

OBS

micro-bitcoin : 1 bitcoin = 1 000 000 micro-bitcoin ou bits.

bit : à ne pas confondre avec l'unité binaire «bit» du domaine de l'informatique.
