That's why we do all the tricks to workaround the problem of long numbers. We're measuring the length in ~6.68458134 × 10-12 AU, time in 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation, etc. etc. all the time. We just call them 1 meter and 1 second instead. Once a "reasonable amount" of BTC reaches either 1k BTC or 1m BTC, someone will come up with a new, cute and short name for those - I don't think we'll have a problem with small / big numbers here.
