Bitcoin is real money to me and in my opinion, it's something that can be exchanged for goods and for services online and offline, it also can be exchanged for a value of USD or any currency and used to buy anything generally.

Yeah if bitcoin is taking care of your basic needs then it is real, as I can make online purchases using bitcoins so it becomes real to me, no doubt there are no physical shops in my area that accepts bitcoin as a mode of payment.

now if you take a survey in the First world . you will find the a mount of paper cash less than 10 years ago .
So many citizen of those country adapted the new payment system (Visa-Master card).
From that concept you can guess bitcoin System need time (5-50) years to replace the current payment systems

Yes, it is a real money to me, I am using it in my  transactions  online, but still, I can't compare it to fiat.

Yes indeed its is really money to me too, you can pay with it on many websites.
I think its good to have bitcoins the have a good future, and you can make real money.

There's a consistent theme that I see popping up on here that I find rather fascinating, and that is the way that many posters perceive BTC.

What do I mean? People doing things with BTC that they'd never, ever dream of doing with their dollars - gambling as an 'investment', or gambling at all, pouring coins into bullshit investment schemes run by totally anonymous showers of shit, lending on here to shambolic morons, asking the question 'where do I get free coins?'

Considering how much of a pain up the arse it can be to obtain coins and keep them safe and their future potential, I find it bizarre that there's such an extreme disconnect. I would've thought it should be at the opposite end of the scale but that's clearly not the case for many.

Why do you think this attitude has developed and where do you stand yourself?

not yet but in the future, it will be real currency for me..

[naidray]

I consider Bitcoin more real than the currency of my country... I spend fckn fiat to pay tax, but I keep BTC in a vault, so precious like The Ring.

If I earn BTC from someone or somewhere I definitely don't exchange to fiat, neither if my currency were US dollar. Because I believe in a better future, I don't believe in a dystrophic world (even been realy cool in movies).

So, BTC is "real money" to me.

I also like bitcoin as real money because of it's low fees and away from taxes. I can withdraw it to fiat from online payment processor without any large fees. But the other payment processor which are using fiat have big fees for transactions and withdrawal.

Yes bitcoin is real to me. Just because you can't see it, doesn't make it any less real.
You can do the same with actual fiat and same with bitcoin.

That's right. Both fiat and Bitcoin are having purchasing power.ANd most of the fiat today used is also digital.
But fiat is always losing it's purchasing power due to manipulation like increasing it's supply into extensive amounts.
Bitcoin however is capped to 21 million coins.So if it should succeed and more and more people wanna use it, the value and therefore it's purchasing power will increase.

[Hellacopter]

I think it's also real money because we can simply make the trades and deals with Bitcoin just like using the other currencies and fiat , so i don't see any big difference between Bitcoin and other currencies

[matete]

As long as you can be able to purchase items or services using bitcoin, then it has be considered as real money. Money is anything that can be used as a payment in exchange of goods and services.

[lrdeoliveira]

yes, of course bitcoin has a value, so it's like money, you can buy what you want whit bitcoin

[Daimon88]

anything usable is real money, bitcoin has a very good value and easily exchangeable for cash and therefore I consider it real money, you can also practically buy a ton of items with bitcoin even as bitcoin without exchanging it.

[Imoote]

Yes bitcoin has the same value as the currency but to be real currency bitcoin might not. Because bitcoin transactions are done online only and there is no form of currency bicoin to buy something.

[bitlancr]

Of course Bitcoin is real money to me. Because you can include many things with it. Because it also has a value to people.
I think it is real money to me. You can buy things clear, and sell and even trade.

I doubt with you .. I don't know exchange bitcoin as easiest as you say .. I always sell my bitcoin to someone who trusted and then he transfer to me, but he took some profit for that.

[MaritiJames3]

Yes bitcoin is real money for me its very safe for me and you can pay everything with it so that's pretty good. More stores are using it today, it will take some time but it will be bigger and better than before for the bitcoin.

[Freshmen]

bitcoin can be used to buy many goods online and can be exchanged for USD in multiple different and operating places and so I consider it real money. even if not many physical stores use bitcoin it can still be used in many places.
