Bitcoin is a digital currency you can
easily send money to other people
whenever you want in just one snap.
This makes the transactions faster.

Right but the question was how it differs from rel money, the only difference in countries where there are people who buy/sell bitcoins and give cash to local users is that they can touch real cash while bitcoins they cannot being digital.

Bitcoin is not the currency of any country and Bitcoin is only digital currency so there are a big different between Bitcoin and real money for example Bitcoin is not legal currency for lots of country because of If someone steals your money what will you do ? Law can help to you and your problem about Bitcoin ? i dont think so .

My opinion is this real money are physical and can be spent physically and also be traded physically and invest with..but as for btc its much likely digital not spent or seen physically but through digital, it can be used to as trading online with and other things as shopping and its safety is good..it can also be exchange for a real cash or money......

It is easier to send and receive with the use of bitcoin unlike real money where you need to go to remittance or a bank to withdraw and deposit. You can buy anything that can be purchased with real money unlike bitcoin.

Bitcoin is classed as real money now and has more attributes associated with real money than normal paper currency which is actually no longer real money since president Nixon unpegged the U.S Dollar from the gold standard, thus rendering it completely worthless. It only has worth and value as long as people are still using it.

Who in the world classes Bitcoin as real money?

In the States, the Constitution says that only gold and silver are real money. So, even fiat isn't real money.

Cool

Depends really what your definition is for real money, for me real money is something that has worth which bitcoins have. So for me, I would any day of the life will buy bitcoins for cash because there is no difference for me. While for someone who thinks real is only things that can be touched then cash is real money for him/her.

That’s good piece of questions, I believe that bitcoin is different than fiat in much broader sense. You can transact with bitcoins without actually revealing your identity and that is not possible when you transact with fiat currencies. Alternatively you will have limits (which might vary depending on websites) for the transactions in fiat but most of sites having bitcoin as a payment option, doesn’t have limits so you can transact as much as your capacity.

I am totally agree with you , bitcoin have featured in transactions that can use for anonymously by everyone.
The identity of bitcoin user is secured if we compared it with fiat. Fiat should be clear who own it. But both of these have differences used for and different advantage when we use these.

Well it's assumed you don't reveal your identity when you transact Bitcoin, but it is possible to find out who someone is if you get them to give you enough information. Something very possible from a lot of existing shops.

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 similar to a stock in and of itself, and thus you're basically doing the same thing but with a greater chance for decent returns.

Bitcoin has less taxes and is easier to gamble with. Almost exactly plug-and-play.

Bitcoin and dollars are different in a ton of ways, and you can google those for yourself.

The bigger differences: bitcoin is descentralized
you don't have a lot of places to spend your coins

If one day people start to accept bitcoin as a payment form, will be great.

If real money you are referring is traditional fiat than better not to think bitcoin as fake money.

Bitcoin - secure, decentralize, anonymous, limited supply (supply can't be manipulated like fiats), in bitcoin your money will be under your full control

Traditional fiat - insecure, centralized by government/ manipulated by banks, unlimited supply (depends upon what banks/government like to have), and your money will be under control of banks and governments.

Hello,

A bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency created by an individual or group of individuals under the pseudonym, “Satoshi Nakamoto.” Bitcoin does not rely on a central server to process transactions or store funds. And remember that no more than 21 million BTC can ever be created.

Coming to real money, it is the currency which is generated and recognized by your local government. It is dictated by certain laws made by the government. Generation of currency depends on the demand and supply model. And for the real currency you need to have a bank account and pay taxes to your government.

In case of bitcoin, it is a decentralized currency and so no need to pay taxes to any government and so a lot of savings. Transactions take place quickly.

Difference between Bitcoin and real money, It's really simple, Bitcoin is more valuable than any real currency, You can see now 1 BTC = 700$
And maybe in 2-3 months, bitcoin will increase more than 800$, but for exemple dollars increase or fall slowly not like bitcoin.
You can see here the differance between bitcoin and any real money.

With some fluctuations, the price of it is still increasing. You can easily dispose your bitcoin if you want to. You don't have to look for a buyer since there's exchange websites for that. Bitcoin is decentralized which means the government has no control over it. Which leads to the next advantage -- bitcoin has no tax. You can easily and quickly send money to another person through your smartphone when you use bitcoins.

Actually invest in bitcoin does not hurt. We can take advantage of fluctuations in bitcoin to benefit, because the price of bitcoin on the fluctuations tend to rise and it was excellent. When asked the difference between bitcoin and real money of course there are many differences. As bitcoin prices always fluctuate rather than real money, bitcoin does not have a form, while money has a form. If talk about the risk of all types of investment risk. So maybe it would not hurt if we try to invest in bitcoin, because bitcoin has a great potential.

I think there is no difference between bitcoin and real money, bitcoin is also a real money. bitcoin might be compared with paper money or cash, maybe it will have some differences
