Bitcoin is still in the process of expanding and that is development. It is also possible in the future that bitcoin will be legalized due to the importance of legality of stuffs that has high value.
Key point: bitcoin is not money, but better than money, is a Fund to which each contributes according to his abilities, but takes according to his needs. It is not necessary to turn in the money, money is a tool to control the people, it is a pity that many do not understand, there is no need to interfere with bitcoin transactions may be long if the network is congested, this means that the Fund is in this moment under the load and we have to wait

Let me give you the idea what's the purpose of money and bitcoin, Would you agree if both are used to exchange stocks, are they used to covert goods and any stuffs? Precisely yes, in my own definition bitcoin is money because bitcoin and money have the same objective. 
to my opinion, bitcoin can be both money and cryptocurrency, because we use bitcoin for trading and investing but we also use bitcoin to exchange into money to use in our daily life.
in my opinion, bitcoin is not money but more than money, especially in the future when bitcoin been known by more and more people, and bitcoin can be used in more situations
Bitcoin is a currency..
The most significant difference between money and currency is that currency does not have consistent value. Currency is used as a representation of value that changes over time and varies from one country to the next.
Gold and silver are the only items that have served as money and represented fixed value throughout human history.

Money performs numerous capabilities. They are utilised not only as payment. For common men and women, they are considered only as payment. For the financial system of the place - this is an important resource. Bitcoin does not have the capabilities of supporting the economy. Therefore, it can not be called full-fledged funds in the sense that exists now
Bitcoin can be used as money as well as Asset.

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?

his first concern is to be free from the influence of banks
a decentralized system says P2P (person to person) without going through a financial institution for quick and easy transaction around the world

have a good day !
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. We can make many money by using bitcoins. Bitcoins created many jobs for all of us and we are lucky because we are now earning many money because of the bitcoin.
I agree.
Of course, bitcoin is money and medium of exchange. For very sure.
Bitcoin is listed and exchanged on licensed exchanges e.g. Bitstamp.
So, you can legaly switch to fiat and vice versa.
This way, Bitcoin is regarded as currency/money.
But, I am more happy to see signs Bitcoin is getting mature and people start saving for retirement, in this currency.
Great!
