What's with the apostrophe?



  • I'm pretty sure Burstcoin wanted it to be future proof and universal. In most contries in Europa they use either a point "." or a blank space " ". In that case, number would look like:
    1 000 000
    1.000.000

    In USA or other countries, they use the comma instead ",". That means it will look like:
    1,000,000

    In USA 1.000.000 means 1
    In (many) european countries, 1,000,000 means 1
    by using " ' " instead, Burstcoin eliminated confusion, He completely eliminated any commonly used symbols in math and instead used a grammatical symbol.
    Why he didn't use a white space instead, I don't know. He might have wanted to have a symbol, to make it easier to read.

    or Burstcoin simply comes from Switzerland or Italy.
