For me, Bitcoin is not yet money. But I do believe that one day it will become the medium of payment worldwide. I consider Bitcoin as an asset that is a commodity. Speculative asset what we call because its price is not fixed and volatile.

Bitcoin is a sort of medium of exchange, it can compare to money because we can pay necessary things using bitcoin, such as paying bills, loading etc. But i would say we can compare it to real money if everyone do really accepting it, just my point of view. Weather bitcoin is money or not as long as it has value on it, it doesn't matter at all. As long as we can use btc as a medium of exchange and whatever everyone think about it, but the bottomline is if we know its worth and importance.

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:

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 agree that bitcoin is a type of money. It turns out to be a somehow currency. It works by a definition of money and hoe could it be use. As we use money, or any normal or on hand currencies we have, these are both use in trading. As it satisfies the definition it could be so it. It just turns out to be in this digital world
Because of its deflationary nature I think Bitcoin is actually more "money" than any currency on the planet right now. Gold is the only worthy comparison, but because of the difficulties inherent in using/transporting/ exchanging gold it doesn't even come close
Yes bitcoin is a digital currency and it work same like other currency because when you want to buy something so you can buy and also you can buy online things I using bitcoin for different things some time I use to buy things and even I pay all my bills through bitcoin and now I can use it any restaurant or hotel I’m really enjoying it. 
I think bitcoin is money because i already earn some money using bitcoin. The bitcoin that i earned came from the tokens and coins that i also earned. I just used a trading site so that I can convert the tokens and coins into bitcoin. Im also holding some tokens because im waiting for the price to increase so that I can earn more money.
I agree with you. for now it is not suitable bitcoin to be called currency, because the user is still limited. more suitable to be called a commodity.
