#curryCryptoFormat: reshaping decimal places!

Decimals are hard to read. There, i admitted it.

As I take on the cryptocurrency world, catching up for lost time while heads-down creating QTeeApp, i cannot help but suggest a simple change to how numbers are displayed. Let’s disrupt standards and make it easier for mere mortals to read the long fractionated numbers so common in crypto.

Trying to count zeros is too hard!

Reading altCoin listings is painful. Fractions used to be the domain of accountants, traders and math aficionados. No longer. Now, everybody is studying cryptocurrencies and the number formats don’t help for general comprehension.

TOO MANY ZEROS, and trying to count decimal places without the help of commas is damn hard, and silly considering that some genius years ago thought to separate up long numbers to the left of the decimal place to aid the eye and brain to understand the number.

So, let’s disrupt normal number formats to allow commas to be placed on the right-hand side of the decimal place.

So, this just happened: 0.000001425 becomes 0.000,001,425

The CurryCrypto numbers are EASY to understand.

Our eyes become uncrossed, we quickly see how many zeros we have, and we can understand our next crypto decision.

Data formats can change, websites can adapt and we can say we also disrupted the sacred old-school number formats!
