Is Bitcoin 'real money' to you?

[Araudan]

Well it's a difficult question. Even if we can spend bitcoin, like euros and dollars, we can't touch it so... It's not very real.
But something unreal, can also exist.

[wadili89]

why is this even a question ?

i get bitcoins and i get it exchange to fiat directly in my bank account or paypal so when i do ATM with my bank card i get fiat money in my hand which is (were) actually bitcoins, so of course it is real money to me at lest.

In my opinion, bitcoin had the potential to become a viable alternative to our current monetary systems.  It had the capacity to become a legitimate form of currency.  However, its adoption rate and its economic scale did not keep up with the pace of technology so it is losing its legitimacy as a "real" form of currency.  There is no doubt, however, that the innovation behind bitcoin and the lessons learned from the bitcoin experiment will produce a new  "real" currency.  A new monetary system will evolve from the technology behind the block chain ledger and the way we interact economically will be something very different from our present system.

Wow that is a great quote there. "But something unreal can also exist" Just like aliens.  For me, It is real, Problems with it being physically touched is really been a fight among against bitcoin. That is what they always say. "You cant touch it so it is not real."

Bitcoins we know that its a digital money in the internet but the value of it is more than a real money. we cant touch it but when we withdraw it from any ATM machine through the transaction there we receive it in our local currency. I believe that its real for me.

I think Bitcoin is real money. Because you can earn it and spend it.
You can even buy things with it and many people use it as real money.

We are just repeating each other now. This is the same reason everyone has. Bitcoin is real money. That's it.

I guess the main purpose of this thread would be to share how real it is to you by sharing the experiences that happened to us. The wrong thing is the thread could only be answered by a Yes or No. It should've been created with "Why?" or "How?" at the end of the question.

I totally agree with you, and other advantage to complete bitcoin to be 'real money' is lowest fee than other, can uses by anonymously, transparent transactions and many other.

I dont think you can buy everything. Or it is just in our place? Few only accept bitcoin in our country. But if you are saying to change it to fiat before buying then yes you can everything but not using bitcoin currency.

Bitcoin is growing or getting changed to be a real money by means of the acceptance got over users as well as business heads. Even now it has not grown vastly. Upto certain level the bitcoin has evolved and getting circulated among persons. Soon scenarios may arise so that bitcoin will be used as a normal currency that we use these days

yeah, but if you put the discount too high with expensive things, like i'm trying now, by buying a 950 windows phone, it seems that none is willing to do the purchase for you at that price...

For me yes, Bitcoin is like real money to me. because i can pay my electric bill with bitcoin and also i can pay my college with bitcoin. and i can buy something online with bitcoin.

Yesterday I bought gold with BTC and yes now I can definitely say that BTC is real money. When used on the internet it does not give that "real" taste but then when used in the real world is just amazing what we have achieved here.

Exactly. And you can pretty much buy all that stuff with fiat as well. So Bitcoin is definitely real money.
