Bitcoin is a black swan to the economists who have created the definitions. It's a private fiat currency.

Both definitions may stand but what matters is the use bitcoin is put to. To this effect, bitcoin is a means of payment and exchange. It pays bills and has made many fantastically wealthy within a space of a few years. So, bitcoin is money and currency and asset rolled together.

Like seriously, dude you don’t even know what you’re saying. Bitcoin is not a currency, it’s just money. It says money is any medium of exchange which can be in the form of coins or banknotes, but currency is a system of money that  is generally used in a particular country.

Coins and banks notes can also be used to pay for bills and other stuffs, just like bitcoin. So, my conclusion is that Bitcoin is money and not currency.

Bitcoin is money, while cryptocurrency is the currency of bitcoins. Bitcoin cannot be a currency because currency represents the overall system of money in an environment. Bitcoin is only part of cryptocurrency which represents the whole money on the internet.

So, is bitcoin money or currency?

Actually it can be both if you will going to apply those definitions. But technically it is called as crypto currency because of its nature that you can buy and sell things online with the use of it. Therefore, Bitcoin is considered as money because of that. On the other hand, bitcoin is also a system of money that is used by some countries as a mode of exchange or transactions and is widely known by some people and investors. Although there is no country yet that is fully used bitcoin as their sole currency but I think in the future people in the entire world will adapt bitcoin as one of the currency that is dominated in the world.

we see its function first because the money on its usefulness is for the legal means of payment to conduct daily buying and selling transactions, while bitcoin money is only suitable for an investment or a lucrative side business.

I guess so? but for me bitcoin is a currency, a virtual one, a virtual one which is the money on the internet. Bitcoin is not yet the currency like fiat that we are all using because of the government is not declaring it as one. Maybe in the near future it could happen but right now it is too good to be true to be a global currency.

Basically bitcoin is a virtual currency circulated over the internet therefore it was being called digital or crypto currency and since it is a currency then it was really a money because we can buy any goods and service to any establishment that accepts bitcoin and besides we can convert it into our local money in order to use in our society.

Money and currency its different. Because money is thing that we used everyday. Currency is what we called our money. Its different but the same used. Every country their are name of their currency but it different value.

I see Bitcoin more as a platform than money or currency. Money and currency has certain characteristics which are not in Bitcoin.
