There is huge difference between them because fiat currency is always a currency which is acceptable every where in that country, but bitcoin is not implemented to accept every where. For small scale industries many people need real money because they cannot do huge transaction like big companies. So it means that bitcoin is completely digital currency where as we can carry them with us but we need proper internet but though many companies are not accepting bitcoins.
actually bitcoin is a new emerging currency, although its users are available everywhere in the world, but actually most of the people do not have proper knowledge about it therefore they are not accepting bitcoin but in future we can expect that all the people will surely start accepting bitcoin.

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?
Why should you convert your dollar to bitcoin maybe bitcoin have a potential that its value to increase,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?
and also I think bitcoin doesn't have tax and when it comes to gambling you can use bitcoin for faster transaction,
and also I think converting your dollar to bitcoin is already considered as investment.
The main difference is that bitcoin is only 8 years old and for example the Dollar is 250 years old.
This mean when Bitcoin would older, than everyone would knew and also accept it.
In the reality Bitcoin and real money is nearly the same.

Not the same... Certainly not. If we all used Bitcoin, except the fact that nobody knew who is the account owner, nobody even knew how much money somebody had. So we would all be completely anonymous and basically equal. Right now any politician can get infos about you very easily... And also a good thing with Bitcoin is that you do not need to carry bags of Satoshis with you, lol. If you want to carry $1.000.000 in dollars, you need a bag of money to be carried with you. But you can carry just your phone and have a million on it and spend it whereve you want where BTC is accepted..

Deep down, this is not correct
Today's dollar is only a little over forty years old. After the so-called Nixon Shock which happened in 1971, it is essentially a total different kind of money, though it might still be the same FED notes as they have been known since 1913. In 1971, Richard Nixon cancelled the direct convertibility of the US dollar to gold, and the effect of this event is basically the same as if the Bitcoin cap at 21M coins were removed tomorrow. I once started a thread about that, and most folks claimed than lifting this limit would instantly kill Bitcoin. I'm not sure about killing, but that would certainly make Bitcoin into a different currency
But the American dollar did not cease to exist because of that change of monetary policy. This change took place without immediate repercussions to the ongoing economy. The world did not break down in a financial crisis nor did the markets break the next day, so I refuse to think that it was a real "refoundation" of the dollar
Some folks may disagree with this claim
And some of them consider the Fed notes which are known today as the American dollar as fake dollars (compared to genuine greenbacks that were in circulation before 1933 and which had been backed up by gold). Regarding repercussions to the economy, you are confusing cause and effect here. Don't you find it amusing that the very event which happened in 1971 was called precisely as [Nixon] Shock? In fact, the dollar had started losing its "gold content" right after the establishment of the Bretton-Woods monetary system based on the US dollar fully backed up by gold. So this event was itself a repercussion of the failing dollar, and the years which followed the Nixon Shock confirmed that in full. The world was in deep financial crisis back then with markets breaking apart (e.g. oil market) and dollar inflation being in two digits for several years
This topic have a lot of discussion, but in short, we use the real money in anywhere without use the internet and definitely we have no problem to use the fiat but instead of it online investment or trading and any other things we could use the bitcoin easily. But it is true bitcoin couldn't get the place of real money, Both have own places and benefits.
yeah we can use the real money for direct shopping in local stores and we know that bitcoin is just using for online transaction like as online shopping or in use of website but i hope we will be use our bitcoin like as fiat like our regular money because bitcoin is getting much more popularity and there is a lot of people adopting bitcoin huge amount for the future i hope we will be using our bitcoin like as our regular currency.

bitcoin is the currency of virtual world and we get a good privacy with it, but with $ we can not get that level of security and privacy but in other sense bitcoin have some bad sides too but in gambling and trading bitcoin is sutable than dollars because of its quantity , durablity and its demands

The main difference that I consider is much important for me and maybe for many here is the ability to use bitcoin immediately.
For online purpose bitcoin can be used very fast (if the other party accepts bitcoin of course) and with some fees using third party services if the other party does not accept bitcoin.
But for withdrawing cash or selling the bitcoin for cash in high amounts this is the issue that people face.

In my opinion the main difference between bitcoin and fiat money (i don't want to say real money because i trust bitcoin as real money too), is about trust. In fiat system you need to trust a central bank and a government on bitcoin system if you have the private key of your bitcoins you don't need to trust any other agent.

There is hardly any difference between Bitcoin and Real Money (Bitcoin is too real money, you should have used Physical or Fiat Money). Both are currencies and satisfying utility as- medium of exchange, store of value, standard of deferred payment and measure of value.
However, what makes them different is concept behind them. Bitcoin is purely decentralized whereas money is highly centralized. Once you own Bitcoin, you are its sole owner. No one can peek in, control or regulate your Bitcoin. Whereas in case of fiat money, you could never become its real owner. Your fiat money always subject to Government regulations. Its value can become nil on one call of government. Example- Demonetization in India.

In the reality Bitcoin and real money is nearly the same.
It is not measured based on the number of years in existence, it is measured more on how people adopt it. Bitcoin could exist for 1,000 years but it will not surpass the success of real money during it's existence of 250 years. Remember that real money is created by the government while bitcoin is not. This mean when Bitcoin would older, than everyone would knew and also accept it.
In the reality Bitcoin and real money is nearly the same.
In five years since the invention of the Bitcoin currency, as the first practical application based on it's technology, has achieved significant success in the global financial system. It's breakthrough potential thoroughly shook the very concept of money and ignited in the minds of people many guesses on how generally the money can be. Some critics have called his money with a Libertarian slant, intended to build a new capitalism, while many economists were quick to call the deflationary nature of Bitcoin the lack of it. However, Bitcoin does not fit into any existing forms of money.

i think the main and the most prominant difference is easy to use and i think we can use real money any where and bitcoin is not but iam sure as internet is proceeding in the world bitcoin can be access by every person and many online shop will accept it in the future and it can be use as a daily life money like real money.......
What do you mean by real money? Your question should be like "What is the difference between bitcoin and fiat?" because bitcoin is real money.
Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency having highest price than other currencies. The bitcoin users are increasing and hence the price in the market, so it is better to invest fiat in bitcoin to get better profit in future.
