Semantics... We are using "real" money to purchase chains of numbers. Its Math! (Or is Art Math? Math is Art?)

From your write up you ended up pointing out the currency in bitcoin, you said bitcoin is an artwork limit in 21 million and measure in 100,000,000 santoshi what is this your so called artwork use for does it just exist on a computer or use for purchasing goods and services with a tradable value on the exchange?

Bitcoin and dollars are intrinsically worthless both are fiat currencies. The co-existence of two fiat currencies and its analysis is nothing new.

This account and OP were both registered less than an hour ago. Beginning some low level, cryptic (no pun intended) FUD campaign. You're supposed to read these posts and think "gee whizz, maybe bitcoin ain't so hot after all. Better invest in some shitcoin fork instead."

If Bitcoin is just artwork, it shouldn't have multiple functions. Bitcoin is digital money that we couldn't hold physically but we can use it as an investment and a mode of payment so it's really multifunctional. I guess you still need to know how bitcoin works so you will be able to recognize that it's a currency and money.

For me bitcoin is an extraordinary digital asset for the future. Since I first became acquainted with bitcoin and cryptocurrency, it has benefited me a lot. Bitcoin is very popular and has many fans spread in almost all countries. I hope Bitcoin will continue to grow well and be more beneficial for us all. Thank you satoshi nakamoto and bitcoin.

First and foremost, I don't think you really understand what the true definition of money means. Bitcoin is a financial tool which operates  and function similarly like money. Money in my opinion is anything that can be used to exchange for goods and services which is also recognized by a large group of people and the entire world.  I think you should rethink your opinion about bitcoin and spend some time to research and understand what Bitcoin actually means.

More than that actually. If you divide each Bitcoin up into a Satoshi you have 100,000,000 Satoshi in one Bitcoin.

We all have different opinion about Bitcoin.
And I really like yours it is a good one since artist spend so much money to buy a good arts.
And Satoshi's work would be the most expensive of all crypto's because it was the first and most rare of them all.

Money, cash, fiat can be used to purchase/exchange with everything that you want.

Bitcoin can be used like that, so what does money means to you?

And people start buying it now with their 'real money' to get another money (bitcoin). As you mentioned artwork, well a great piece of artwork is lucrative if it came from a famous art maker. Same goes for bitcoin if you want to sell it at current price. I can't get what you are trying to point out with your post.

Bitcoin is a form of money, just  digital and can use to purchase online. Though we cant see it and never touch by a bear hand, you cannot say it is not money. Bitcoin works like a real money. You earn it, invest it to grow, and spend it.

So what's your definition of money, Op? Do you know the purpose why Satoshi made BTC?
He made it to be used as a mode of payment to make things more convenient.
It's only digital but it's still considered as money because it has a value and it plays a vital role in our lives now.

In other world bitcoin is also kind of money if we look on it's function and it's essens. But there is nothing to talk about if it is money or not,the important thing is bitcoin ad other crypto serves as the fiat backup and future fiat that makes our every transactions more easier and serves as a investment or an extra income to all users.

Do you use art to pay your bills? i don't think so. Bitcoin is money because you can use it to pay almost anything, and if you still thinking bitcoin is art then ask yourself how easy is to change art for money (without selling it cheap), and then compare that with bitcoin.

Questions that are very confusing and seem to be confusing. I don't think it is necessary to blame Bitcoin whether it is not money or not, but in fact bitcoin is digital money, which can be used and exchanged into fiat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money

Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts, such as taxes, in a particular country or socio-economic context.[1][2][3] The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value and sometimes, a standard of deferred payment.[4][5] Any item or verifiable record that fulfils these functions can be considered as money.

Money is any good that is widely used and accepted in transactions involving the transfer of goods and services from one person to another. Economists differentiate among three different types of money: commodity money, fiat money, and bank money. Commodity money is a good whose value serves as the value of money.

I transferred my bitcoin money, into other goods and services plenty of times, never fiat, Bitcoin is money. I can even pay for my taxes here in Canada with it and I have to pay tax on it, until I created the "church or whatever you want to call it of bitcoin"

You are right though, it is a form of artwork, some really nice nerd cryptography artwork. That is a antique artwork and only 21 million will ever be distributed.
