Bitcoin is real money. And the only time I convert my money into fiat is when I need to pay a bill or purchase a consumable.

Who says bitcoin is not money? Of course it is, but the question is if what is the difference between real money (fiat) and bitcoin, and what you said is exactly what makes them different, which is that bitcoin is not yet spendable anywhere we want and real money (fiat) can be used anywhere we want.

Yeah bitcoin is tax free, at the same real money were kept without proper taxation by few users. Though bitcoin looks untraceable if a particular persons bitcoin address is known, his entire balance can be known. Real money can't be the same even if someone's account details were known.

The main issue with such logic lies in the fact that there is no abstract fiat which can be used anywhere. The US dollar cuts it to a degree, but, as I mentioned before, there are more than a hundred fiat monies hanging around, and the total majority of them have only limited local use. My point is that Bitcoin is overall more usable throughout the world than most of these currencies. In other words, you simply can't correctly compare something specific (Bitcoin) with something abstract (fiat in general)...

At least, in respect to some quality or feature which is not set for the latter

[DoublerHunter]

There is not much on their difference because bitcoin is another form of money and it is virtual and fiat or real money is just physical. They can both help us in having financial freedom if we know how to manage those two and if you are smart enough on how to use it then you can generate a lot of income from it.

I've discovered Bitcoin few days ago, but I am skeptical about few things, why would I invest money in Bitcoins at the end of the day,why would I convert money into Bitcoins?

If I want to buy stocks or invest money I can easily invest with real $. Why would I convert my $ to bitcoins?
If I want to gamble , I can simply gamble on websites that require $ as currency, why would I convert it to bitcoins?
What's the difference between Bitcoins and dolars? What does bitcoin bring to the table that real $ don't, less taxes, more income?

Bitcoin is not real money?  

Bitcoin is complex money. The complex explanation about the value of algorithm. At least you can buy something use it. I can't say it's real or not because it does not have a physical body. Not completing about the criteria of a real money. But bitcoin still keep its value and the digital form makes it have a complex characteristic. Makes sense for call it the complex currency.

Bitcoin is a form of digital currency and real money is fiat currency which you can withdraw it in cash form using an ATM machine and you can touch it physicaly. You cannot touch a digital currency value but you can only see it through viewing it using internet network connection. Fiat currency is very important with bitcoin in my own explanation because you can convert your cryptocurrency to fiat and without fiat currency you cannot convert it to real money which is fiat cash. Bitcoin cannot used in purchasing goods at department store which is not adopting bitcoin as mode of payment so you really need to convert it to fiat in order to make it cash form.

You can gamble anonymously with bitcoin so none will find out about your activities or who you are if you take the right measures, besides many people that gamble with bitcoin gamble coins they earned in some way or another so they don't need to convert fiat into bitcoin.

Not true, Bitcoin is nor complex money because people not started using like fiat yet. People from the forum only using the Bitcoin in trade and for some online purchases, so Once Bitcoin adopted and made centralized by the Government. That time there is no difference at all apart from price value.

I think the real money as fiat can also do gambling unnoticed by the police. is the difference fiat with bitcoin significantly is decentralized
This is clearly different from the fiat controlled by any government

bitcoin is digital currency which can be use for online websites and online shopping and real money is fiat which can be use for direct shopping and real money have physical shape and real money can be store in bank.

[fasdorcas]

its very simple that different between in bitcoin and real money , bitcoin have no physical shape and recently we can use it for direct shopping in local shops and real money have physical shape and we can use it for direct shopping in anywhere in local shops.

You posted your reply twice, maybe you should delete the other one.

Anyway, regards the physical "shape" or maybe you meant "form" in your sentence, indeed bitcoin does not have a physical representation of the coins but real money also has such form. Real money can be deposited, for example in paypal, which would become digital. Another is credit cards, you can buy a lot of things without even getting your wallet using credit cards. I don't think form has anything to do with both financial mediums. It does not really give them any real advantage or disadvantage.

To some, it does. When people asked me where are my bitcoins, I said it's on the internet and they looked dismayed or disappointed. That shouldn't be a problem to me though because right from the start I was aware that bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and not a fiat currency. There are physical bitcoins that has a corresponding amount in the wallet but it costs a lot and we don't really need that physical coin to have transactions.

I can add in your post that bitcoin is basically the same as those digital form of money like the ones in paypal and bank accounts. Similar to those, you can convert your bitcoin into fiat as well.

[legendbtc]

There are many reason in between bitcoin and fiat money, fiat money is controlled by the government sectors and bitcoin is controlled by the one who has bitcoin. Bitcoin is completely digital currency we can send it to any part of the country where as fiat money it is restricted to specific country only. The value of the bitcoin is very high when compared to fiat currency.The transaction fee of bitcoin is very less when compared fiat currency.

[azguard]

Give or take we all spend money one way or another. Was is fiat or bitcoin we at the end spend it for something. Bigger issues is that sometimes you have bitcoin and you need cash fast takes days to serve all out, but this is something i hope it will be resolved in near future for all to pay/spend bitcoin/fiat not you with cash only. I just hope that i will live to see this happening.

Physical bitcoins are just like your paper wallet. They don't contain any bitcoins at all, only the private key to a Bitcoin wallet. All bitcoins that were mined, are mined, or will be mined will always remain in the blockchain (unless Bitcoin paradigm changes). Regarding fiat, it is not essentially different as long as we don't mean cash. Basically, fiat is just a collection of records in a Central bank database, which correspond to the amount of money held by commercial banks and other financial institutions (a typical double-entry with one entry in the commercial bank and the other in the Central bank)...

In other words, these are the same digits but organized in a somewhat different manner

Yeah difference is only in spending places but the Bitcoin is the actual benefitable one according to me. Because when compare the potential of the usage bitcoin only can act as money as well as transaction medium but fiat can't.

Honestly bitcoin no can control its because it is decentralized unlike fiat that controls by government and banks.
The good thing we can use bitcoin world wide in online without any hassle unlike fiat that it needs ID or any government with your identity to verify your sel that you are the owner.
