Bitcoin versus real money

[Obiene12]

The value of Bitcoin cannot be over emphasized. The coin is one of the most valued asset right now in human history. Some people prefer saving up their coins than saving real money. The value of one Bitcoin is bigger than some currencies around the world. Bitcoin will someday become the crude oil of some people and firms in the world. It will surely boom and everyone will scramble for it and at that time the scarcity of the Bitcoin will make it have more value than the real money. Save up your coins and hit the jackpot.

Bitcoin will make it have more value than the real money. Save up your coins and hit the jackpot.

Its already been there long time.

1BTC isnt 1USD
1BTC isnt 1EURO
1BTC isnt 1YEN
1BTC isnt 1PESO

Those currency can be printed but BTC isnt able to add anymore to circulating supply means its scarce and its value will keep increasing in due time while currency depends on the economic sector.

[Ivystar5]

What the heck? did you know about bitcoin when it was below a dollar? ddi you know about it when it was around $1 to 1BTC?

We are far gone beyond where it's scarcity is still going to be exaggerated, right now it's already the Gold or even more than gold of our time.

No country currency is bigger than 1BTC

You can't say bitcoin will boom, sounds like some pump and dump shit! bitcoin has been booming and every 4 years it has a special kind of boom unlike any other assets,currency and/or crypto.

[CTO114]

One interesting aspect is; it's volatility makes it a very attractive prospect, drawing attention to its potential. One certainty is; Bitcoin is here to stay, and it's potential is enormous.

The value of one Bitcoin is bigger than some currencies around the world.

One bitcoin is more valuable and bigger than all the currencies considering what it can be used in buying, but if it is how people see it, some people will still value holding the fiat amount of one bitcoin than one bitcoin itself. So in conclusion, in terms of what Bitcoin can be used for, bitcoin has a clearer value, but about hoe people see it and perceive this value, bitcoins victory is not yet clear.

Bitcoin is already more valuable than any fiat currency if fiat is what you are referring to as real money, and this makes me want to ask if bitcoin itself is fake money? Cause we all know they the opposite of real is fake, if fiat is real money, does it mean that bitcoin is fake money? Because whether you agree with this or not, bitcoin itself is money.

Fiat is known to lose their value and purchasing power over time due to its infinite supply, this is one of the issues of fiat that Bitcoin had addressed with its limited amont in total supply,  bitcoin no doubt has become very expensive for more people to be able to afford to buy 1 of it, and as time comes and goes, it is expected that the value will continue to grow, those who can afford it can invest for the long term because this is the only way to be profitable as a bitcoin investor.

I think the title of the thread is incorrect. I would have titled it: “Bitcoin is real money”. It's almost contradictory, what the title says and what the OP says. Surely he considers fiat currency to be real money because it has many more options for payment, but for me, real money is not devalued at a rapid pace. In ancient times, real money was gold (and silver) until politicians came up with the idea of alloying coins with other metals, thus beginning to devalue them.

Money is money, what is real money in your post?

There is only fake money from criminals who want to print fake money in order to use freely without working. Governments in contrast can arbitrarily print more fiat currencies in their nations if they want but money printed by governments and central banks are not considered as fake money. Even their printed fiat currencies are not backed by any valuable assets behind like gold for example.

The times of Gold Standard globally gone many decades ago and all fiat currencies nowadays are very inflationary and useless.

What people can gain from their Bitcoin holdings is no longer a secret. Only a few are still unfamiliar with Bitcoin, and they will eventually learn about it like those before them.

As a currency, 1 BTC = 1 BTC.
Bitcoin's value is greater than fiat currencies worldwide, and we can compare it for ourselves. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is US$112,628.80. Previously, thousands of Bitcoins could buy a pizza. In some countries, even 1 Bitcoin could buy a decent house at the local fiat exchange rate.

[SilverCryptoBullet]

It's always true but it does not mean too much as all shitcoins, scam meme tokens can say similarly like

1 PEPE = 1 PEPE for example.

However, they are useless altcoin and scam projects so they don't  have actual values, and prices will become less and less, until their project deaths in the future.

Bitcoin future supply will be halved every 210,000 blocks as how it halved several times in the past years while very oppositely, fiat currencies will have increases of their future supplies. This means even Bitcoin adoption only remains like now, its price will increase as consequence of fiat currencies' decrease of their purchasing powers over time by inflationary problems.

Fortunately, Bitcoin will have better adoption so its value increases more and that means it will have like double forces for price growth in future and not only from fiat currency inflationary issue.

Bitcoin is the "real money" itself and what you refer to as real money is not even money, it is fiat "currency". As a reminder the difference between money and currency is that currency is a medium of exchange while money is a currency that is also store of value.

Fiats are currencies because they are not store of value, they are only medium of exchange. And because bitcoin is a medium of exchange with a capped supply, it can be a store of value which makes it money. In fact Bitcoin is the only money in existence because it has both characteristics. Everything else only has one of the two (eg. fiat is only medium of exchange and gold is only store of value).

Fiat currencies are created by governments and central banks that use all resources they have, lies they can say, for defending useless fiat currencies and convining people in upcoming solutions of governments and central banks for fixing issues of inflation and declining purchasing power while in many centuries, they have failed to do all those things.

I don't believe governments and central banks will succeed in the future and my belief is they will only make things and problems worse and worse over time.

Whatever words they use to call their fiat currencies as "Real Money", I don't mind after I knew of their chronic problems that can not be solved, and I realized high value, potentiality and the bullish future of Bitcoin.

The bullish case for Bitcoin is very opposite with the dump future of fiat currencies.

I'm still waiting for most companies around the world to accept BTC as a payment method. Unfortunately, this probably won't happen.
It won't happen due to the same reason why gold isn't accepted as a payment method anymore. It's just too valuable and there's a constant expectation that the value will keep raising(or just fiat money will keep losing value). That's the problem for deflationary assets. Nobody wants to use them as a payment method. The people just prefer to buy them and accumulate more and more, waiting for a higher price in the future.
What the hell is "real money"? I know the definition of money, but the term "real money" seems like nonsense to me. Legal tender money are the real money, because the government has decided that they are real, but in reality, paper money were just a derivative of gold and silver.

This looks like you are calling for investors to buy bitcoin just because with it they stand the chance of hitting jackpot. no doubt, with the right investment strategy, getting a good returns on investment from your bitcoin accumilation is not unrealistic but when you are all too bent on getting returns from your investment and hitting jackpot from it, you might end up setting short and unrealistic goals.

The usefulness of fiat in a society that is dorminated by fiat users and where at least 95% of goods and services are sold and bought with the fiat can not be over emphasized. Even though bitcoin was not created to be a replacement to the fiat, there is no compairison between the two because the fiat is mostly used by regular person that are not considering returns from it while bitcoin is mostly used by people are considering using it as an edge against inflation or that are using it for the sake of international transaction that the usage of fiat can not go for.

bitcoin is the real money. i guess what you meant was that some people prefer investing in a valuable and reliable asset like bitcoin or converting their fiat to bitcoin than letting inflation eat up its value in the bank .

The value of one Bitcoin is bigger than some currencies around the world.

no currency in the world can equate with bitcoin even in the next 100 years to come. i think you dont know the actual price of 1 bitcoin perhaps . even the Kuwaiti Dinar  which is leading with 1(KWD) = $3.26 as the currency with highest value is not even a match for bitcoin.

In this section, please don't compare it to other coins, especially shitcoins or memecoins.
This discussion is about Bitcoin and cash. Don't divert from it.
Bitcoin is an electronic cash system. Bitcoin is not crypto. Bitcoin is BTC. Besides BTC, all altcoins can be considered crypto.
It's too easy to divert from the discussion to something that doesn't align with the current situation.

Save Bitcoin and hit the jackpot is no longer possible.

You buy from now and you hold till the price hit $1 Million, you only earn 10x from your capital. 10x is nothing if we want to call it a jackpot, probably at least 1,000x multipliers could be called as jackpot.

I'm still waiting for most companies around the world to accept BTC as a payment method. Unfortunately, this probably won't happen.

I think if you wish for most companies to accept Bitcoin payment, it might be possible. Because most companies are profit oriented and they will do many thing as long as it's bring them money.

It's different if you talk about countries, the factors are many and I think it's high unlikely to happen.

What you call "real money" is actually not money  it's credit, or rather fiat currency. If you're saving in fiat currency, you're exposed to inflation or in other words, silent theft.To understand this, you need to go deeper down the rabbit hole and start exploring what money truly is.Try reading books like The Bitcoin Standard, The Fiat Standard, or Broken Money, as well as the famous article by Nick Szabo  who is, most likely, Satoshi Nakamoto himself. https://nakamotoinstitute.org/library/shelling-out/#money

These works will help you understand the deeper meaning of what money really is and why Bitcoin is so important.

Bitcoin is real money  for the first time in human history, we have a form of money that can truly perform all the functions of money. That's what makes Bitcoin such a magnificent invention.

Well I am not going to say you are over hyping with your speculations because it is becomed obvious that no asset historically has attained such price rally like the Bitcoin and no assets has as well acquired global market influence like Bitcoin within it range of time (15 years).
Gladly, Bitcoin has surpassed a lot of global assets and had currently secured a 5th position in the market cap and potentially hopeful to lead the global market in the future regardless of it volatility being trajectory.

Bitcoin potentials is radiated and can not be overemphasized. The principles of Bitcoin is overwhelmed to be compared to the conventional system.

i see bitcoin more like digital gold than real money.. it’s valuable because people agree it is and the limited supply helps but it’s not stable enough yet for daily use.. maybe one day it will play a bigger role but for now i see it more as long term value than a replacement for cash
