Bitcoin is real money when you can buy things with it.
Faucets is also a real money, but if you look actually is just weird that it can be a real money.
So I think bitcoin can and not a real money. If you use daily or not.

Surely bitcoin has been real money for me since I started earning some amounts.
Of course, in many instances while spending it ,we need to convert to fiat.
But most of the times I could use bitcoin itself as a payment way and so, I feel it is real money for me.

Yes is also a real money you can do a lot of things with it. The problem is for some country is not that easy to just convert it to fiat money. But is nice that you can buy online stuff so that is good.
Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Bitcoin has been always real money to me since the beginning.
Since i heard for bitcoin i know that it will have a good future as it is unique and the first cryptocurrency

But I'm not interested to consider bitcoin like real money now itself. Because it will make myself to regret. In future after bitcoins get higher value then I will use it as real money for my daily needs. So I'm saving my bitcoin for my future use, until it gets higher value.



Im also saving because I feel as if im paying with Gold and not with money. If I want to buy some mundane stuff, why would I use Bitcoin anyway. I will use fiat which is only going to get more and more deprecated, as Bitcoin appreciates as the system crashes.

yes it's real to me.
I can pretty much do the same thing with bitcoin as i can do with real money
It's just that I cant spend it as much as I can with real money.

Anything that two people are willing to exchange for a service, or good, tangible or intangible is a form of money in one way or another. Sea Shells have been "money" at one point.

Bitcoin is more than a real money to me..
Yup it's right that i'm doing many things with bitcoins that I never dreamed to do with real currency... Gambling, Trading , Investing , earning, etc...
When I started in bitcoins. I thought that it's just a online money to do transactions anywhere.. then slowly and gradually i came to know more deep and deep about bitcoins..
It's not just a online money.. It's gold of internet and Revolution on Internet

Yes, Practically bitcoin is nothing short of the real money. It can be used as the real money through online as well as in real-time shop using bitcoin debit card. But how people are seeing bitcoin is more important. Some people being bitcoin as an investment and only very few people are using bitcoin as a real money.

Bitcoin is not real money to me. I used it for investment and sometime gambling but I consider it as a cryptocurrency. Not real fiat.
That's true, Bitcoins are not real we can say because we see it in internet only and its a digital money or cryptocurrency but at the same time you can see that it has a value same like a real money and those who are selling Bitcoins .they are getting real money in his hand.

You're right, but in terms of usability bitcoin already equaling real money.
In my area can rent a car using bitcoin and purchasing requirement has also been able to use bitcoin. Although it can not be original but uses bitcoin money already can compensate for real money

Yes, for me the Bitcoin is real currency and real money, because we have to work hardly to get it as fiat, we can't make acceptable earning without investing money or timing and effort, and also we can use Bitcoin to make trades just like fiat and other currencies

can you buy a car with bitcoin ?
can you buy a home with bitcoin ?
can you buy a laptop with bitcoin ?

sometimes i think bitcoin is only asset because i can't use bitcoin like "real money"
bitcoin is only asset

Maybe now not yet, but when the world has fully adopted bitcoin it will happen. As more and more merchandizers accept bitcoin, it will be more and more be real money.

I perceive it as real money, why would I not? I don't do stuff with it which I wouldn't do with fiat. I gamble with it, I use to and still gamble with fiat, I order stuff online with it, if I see something worth buying i.e. and that's it. I don't invest in Ponzis, I don't lend, I don't trade, which is why I am not bothered with price that much, I buy it, spend it and buy again.

So I use it completely as I would use fiat. I will think about price when and if I have enough to sell.

Well, same here.

Fact is most of the users on this forum have some sort of a business with Bitcoin, to them its just another way to make $. Therefore, they don't see it as real money.

But I believe it would take some more years to make bitcoin as the real money for myself too. Because, without having full value of bitcoin, spending bitcoin would be a bad decision. Currently I am saving some bitcoin on monthly basis for higher values. Maybe in future I will use my bitcoin's as a real money.

Spending bitcoin wouldn't necessarily be a bad decision. You can always buy it back if you are bullish.
It is only when you spend bitcoin that bitcoin adoption increases.

Yes, spending bitcoin is not a irreversible action. You may get a better price to buy back. Buying and selling is more important to make bitcoin go main stream.

I got you what you wanna say, consider bitcoin now as an asset and in the near future when the price goes up as a real money, good strategy.
