Bitcoin can be considered as money because it can be converted into cash/fiat to buy whatever you want. It cab be transfer also to pay some bills.
Yes money is considered as bitcoin. It can negotiate to others by means of investing. It said that money is bitcoin in a way that you advertise and post in bitcoin. You can easily save and earn more money because of bitcoin. Let for example my personal things, all of these came from bitcoin. Even my family needs, my tuition fee, bills, for transportation and other matters all these things are from bitcoin. Otherwise, it is important to be responsible bitcoiner to avoid mistakes or anything that can harm others or lead in a wrong activities.
Bitcoin is money for me because it can be transferred in to money, it has value. Countries had been recognizing it as money and some are planning to accept it as payment too.
Bitcoin is bitcoin and money is money. The bitcoin can be considered as a money but the money will always be a money. Bitcoin has a value and can be converted into a cash. It is more easier and riskier to use. You can mined bitcoin but you can't mined money. Money will always be money while bitcoin keeps on improving.
Bitcoin is known as a digital currency. It is used only on the Internet. And Bitcoin is exchanged for the service. However, it can be used to convert Bitcoin into a dollar. So, considering this aspect, Bitcoin is the money.
Yes bitcoin is money. It is an online money. There are countries in which they legalize the use of bitcoin. They are using it on the daily basis. You can pay someone with the use of bitcoin. But there is also a limitation. You can only access it online. So if you do not have internet, then you can do bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a virtual currency it is different from the bank notes. Bitcoin is money and you can use it for any transaction, investment and source of income.
For my opinion bitcoin is a money. It is a cryptocurrency which means it is a virtual money. You cant touch bitcoin
you cannot feel bitcoin you cannot see a bitcoin but it is a money. A money th at cannot be touched. For an easier
explanation, think about a game that has its own currency that you needed to buy stuffs inside a game. Thats like
our case here in bitcoin. You can use your bitcoin to buy stuffs that you want or save it and make an invesment to
company.

Bitcoin is not the money but t is an asset. Bitcoin can not be used as legal tender against any article. Bitcoin is not spendable in market. But we can buy or sell bitcoin against dollor.
We have the right to call it as money especially if we own some. Bitcoin is accepted anywhere in this world and when it has a value you can consider that as money, why people are investing in bitcoin
if they do not believe it's money, their purpose is to make or grow their money so they risk bitcoin which came from their fiat money.
Bitcoin is a digital asset. Bitcoin is relative it can be a number of things.
Bitcoin is not the money but t is an asset. Bitcoin can not be used as legal tender against any article. Bitcoin is not spendable in market. But we can buy or sell bitcoin against dollor.
If we will specifically talk about bitcoin then i wont say as of now that it can already be called as money. For me it is an asset due to the fact that people treat it as an asset rather than as a currency or money. And it will be really hard to use it as a money right now since it takes so slow to make a transaction and there is only few who accepts it in exchange for their products.
Bitcoin is something radically new. Nothing like Bitcoin has been possible until now. I would go so far as to consider it sui generis; "in its own class". This makes it important to understand what Bitcoin actually is before we try to describe it to others.
We're getting a good handle on the code, and of course on Bitcoin's function and utility, but what words should we use to describe Bitcoin itself? There has been some debate in other threads [mostly my doing] over how it is like/not like money, cash, dollars, etc. I'd like to start this thread by focusing on the term "money", and play Devil's avocate by asking for your best arguments that Bitcoin IS money.
My legal dictionary states "In usual and ordinary acceptation it [money] means gold, silver, or paper money, used as circulating medium of exchange, and does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate." [cites omitted]
Wikipedia says "Money is any object that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally, a standard of deferred payment." [cited omitted]
Webster's Online Dictionary defines money as:
[/list]
I maintain that per these definitions, Bitcoin cannot possibly be described as "money". And further, I think that those who do describe Bitcoin as "money" are doing this community a disservice.
But that is just my point of view. Are there any that can convincingly argue otherwise, that Bitcoin IS money?
I think the definition of money is a legitimate means of exchange or that has been recognized by the government. the function of money is also in fact the same as the main means of exchange. well we try to think more deeply, the definition of the instrument of exchange itself is to overcome the difficulties in barter. so seeing from its function is actually the same bitcoin that can be used as a medium of exchange or also as a unit of counting that distinguish here is the only form. just as we keep the money in the bank and we get only nominal in atm according to the currency of each country.

Anything can be considered "money" if it has intrinsic value! What gives something value.... what people are willing to pay for it.. Supply and demand.
But do not forget one thing! It is about the validity of a thing when it is used as a paying tool. Till today, some countries still aren't allowed the use of bitcoin as a legal means of payment. On such countries, bitcoin isn't money.
As long as it is accepted for services then it's a legal tender
Yes it is money that could be a good source of income. Some people buy stuffs or services online by using bitcoin with their identity secured. It is a cryptocurrency meaning it is a money that has an anonymous state.
Yes right, I think bitcoin is the same function as money, can be used to buy or transactions, although bitcoin has not legalized the country but I'm sure with strong community and users will have no effect.
BITCOIN is a currency like money.Actually,it is better than money.It is a modern cryptocurrency.We can use bitcoin like we used to do with money.Rather we can invest bitcoin,hold bitcoin,sell them,trade them,do shop by them etc etc and so on.But it is not legal in many countries.
bitcoin like money, but this is for the cryptocurrency
not all country accepted bitcoin for the payment, we hope someday bitcoin for the payment in the world.
not all country accepted bitcoin for the payment, we hope someday bitcoin for the payment in the world.
You mean bitcoin is like money but it could be only use mostly online because not all of the store in the real world accepts bitcoin?(correct me if I'm wrong).
That is what we are all hoping that would happen in the near future, but right now, it is too good to be true since bitcoin have different issues on different countries around the world. There are countries who banned bitcoin because of their people who misuse bitcoin, like buying illegal drugs online and illegal firearms, they are taking the advantages of bitcoin to do bad things that is why as the Government solution on this, they have banned bitcoin.
