Yes, it is.
I wouldn't say real, I would say more valuable. After all, most fiat money is digital, just like Bitcoin. The difference is that Bitcoin has increasing value due to scarcity and fiat decreasing value due to mass printing.
I wouldn't be surprised if some countries ban it, but I think it will happen to them like China when it refused to switch to the gold standard and continued with silver.
Agreed, only those groceries or markets that continue to rise in price. The only one that is increasing is the conversion of fiat currency. We all know it will not increase in value, which is why the government is announcing that they will raise the salaries of their employees because that is the only way the money will increase and be able to cope with the market price, which we all know is extremely high. Unlike bitcoin, which continues to rise year after year, this is fantastic.
