Its better than real money to me and I protected it more
than dollars. I would definitely spend less money on food
other garbage if I only used bitcoin as I covet it more.

Not only it's real, it the ONLY REAL money we have today (aside from altcoins ofc). Fiat & gold are crap - the primary reason why the world is so fucked up.

To me BItcoin is worth more than real money. Real money I spend daily without a care in the world I do not save paper money because it is worthless but my BItcoin is held in secure paper wallets/hardware. Bitcoin to me is more like gold, I mean an investment for when it is accepted worldwide as is gold which I do save. We do have people here live on this extreme with me but then we have the other end where people see it as a way to gamble and buy crap from the dark web like you say. Each to their own is the saying I believe. In short I am much more careful with bitcoin than I am with paper. To me the value are far apart. Not only it's real, it the ONLY REAL money we have today (aside from altcoins ofc). Fiat & gold are crap - the primary reason why the world is so fucked up.
Fiat is correct but come on gold is far from crap lol |

Bitcoin is as real as money as it's possible for something virtual. The reason it attracts fortune seekers is the anonymity behind it, allowing
Bitcoin is great real money to me and many others. As long as it has value it is as good as any currency to myself.

Seeing as that bitcoin is a legal currency in my country, yes it is like real money.
It doesn't seem like it since you can't hold it but I can buy things online with it so yes, to me bitcoin is real money.

Yes. Bitcoin is currently in investment phase. So using bitcoin as normal real money is not possible for many people who are believing in bitcoin's future. But it doesn't mean if you're spending bitcoin as a regular money that you are not believing in bitcoin. |

But it doesn't mean if you're spending bitcoin as a regular money that you are not believing in bitcoin. It would be hard for many people to save all the money they are getting in bitcoin. To fulfill the daily needs of life, we will be forced to spend some of our bitcoins. So spending bitcoin as a regular money would be in some percentage and the rest in saving for future as we believe in bitcoin's future. |

I do that too. Recharging my mobile prepaid load. I even use it as business to reload other prepaid mobile. But I cant buy anythinh I want through bitcoin I need to cash out it first. And sometimes that is a waste if the bitcoin grew. |

To me bitcoin is real money, you can spend it, save it like any other currency.
It's just not available to use everywhere yet. The difference between "actual" money is that you can't physically see bitcoin or touch it.
If I am correct they are some physical bitcoins, is just to expensive to have it or buy it.
For me bitcoin is real, because you can get real money with it.
That is my opinion as well. If it has an instant and liquid conversion to fiat money, than it's money.

Yes you can even get cash from a friend if you really need it at that time. He just need to be a bitcoin user too. I got some cash from a friend all I need is send him the bitcoin valued at the present time. |

Since it is trader all over the world (mostly) then i should considered it as a real money because people can buy and sell things for bitcoin.
