Yes it is and that is why it attracts a lot of people to invest in it because the return of profit is very lucrative. If some people only treat it as an asset then it is their own definition but as long as I can buy something using bitcoin with a specific amount then it is definitely money for me.

    Bitcoin is something radically new. Nothing like Bitcoin has been possible until now. I would go so far as to consider it sui generis; "in its own class".  This makes it important to understand what Bitcoin actually is before we try to describe it to others.

    We're getting a good handle on the code, and of course on Bitcoin's function and utility, but what words should we use to describe Bitcoin itself? There has been some debate in other threads [mostly my doing] over how it is like/not like money, cash, dollars, etc. I'd like to start this thread by focusing on the term "money", and play Devil's avocate by asking for your best arguments that Bitcoin IS money.

    My legal dictionary states "In usual and ordinary acceptation it [money] means gold, silver, or paper money, used as circulating medium of exchange, and does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate." [cites omitted]

    Wikipedia says "Money is any object that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally, a standard of deferred payment." [cited omitted]

    Webster's Online Dictionary defines money as:
    • 1. The most common medium of exchange; functions as legal tender; "we tried to collect the money he owed us".
    • 2. Wealth reckoned in terms of money; "all his money is in real estate".
    • 3. The official currency issued by a government or national bank; "he changed his money into francs".
    • 4. A piece of metal, as gold, silver, copper, etc., coined, or stamped, and issued by the sovereign authority as a medium of exchange in financial transactions between citizens and with government; also, any number of such pieces; coin.
    • 5. Any written or stamped promise, certificate, or order, as a government note, a bank note, a certificate of deposit, etc., which is payable in standard coined money and is lawfully current in lieu of it; in a comprehensive sense, any currency usually and lawfully employed in buying and selling.
    • 6. In general, wealth; property; as, he has much money in land, or in stocks; to make, or lose, money.
    [links omitted]
    [/list]

    I maintain that per these definitions, Bitcoin cannot possibly be described as "money". And further, I think that those who do describe Bitcoin as "money" are doing this community a disservice.

    But that is just my point of view. Are there any that can convincingly argue otherwise, that Bitcoin IS money?






    Yes, bitcoin is a kind of money. It is money because you can earn it and buy whatever you want using bitcoin, Also it has a value where people can depend on. bitcoin is kind of money which ha a uniqueness because it is virtual which you can touch it or hold it. It is can see through online but still you can use it to buy things.

    No, it is an investment that can be traded for money, so its worth money, it isn't money.  It is an odd thing because it does have potential to actual become currency or money but it isn't there yet.  What could make it change when larger companies start accepting Bitcoin as a method of payment, then it will be money.

    Yes, bitcoin is money possessing liquidity, serving as a measure of the value of other goods and services. Bitcoin can, like the finest money, act as an intermediary in the exchange of some goods for others

     Bitcoin has all of the listed functions. It is known that like a dollar that is divided into cents, Bitcoin is divided into virtual coins (satoshi). The transfer of digital money is carried out by sending from one electronic store to another

    Anything that is being used as a medium of exchange is money. Bitcoin, like gold, is money.

    Bitcoin can never be money, but bitcoin can be as gold as gold in the future, so bitcoin can be equal in some ways to money. look forward. Bitcoin will not let us down.

    I think it can be considered as a money since you can exchange it into real cash, so I guess we can call it online money. The good thing about it is that, we can actually use it to buy online or make online payments, which is more convinient and easier for everyone. Now it is called online momey but in the future I think it is gonna be known as the money.

    I'm not a smart person but I have much time for working, so I decided to working in bounty campaign and this my good place to make money, though this field doesn't give me much money like others.

    Note: We are discussing about the definition of Bitcoin. You are mistaken to say about the method can make money through Bitcoin, lol. Grin
