Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] moving the default display to mbtc

Every volatility bump messes up expectations of what a bitcoin is worth,
so why are we bikeshedding uBTC vs mBTC? Just be done with it and do mBTC
now, and plan uBTC for just after the next price spike to $10KUSD or whatever,
and then plan on rolling back to mBTC when the price crashes from altcoin
money supply inflation competition.
