Unless you can point to any major wallets, exchanges or price watching sites that use uBTC by default? I think it is highly optimistic to assume we'll need another 1000x shift any time soon. By now Bitcoin isn't obscure anymore. Lots of people have heard about it. Getting from $1 to $1000 was amazing, but it was possible through huge media coverage. Getting from $1000 to $1,000,000 would take massive adoption of the kind Bitcoin isn't ready for yet.
