Topic: Is Bitcoin money? - page 69. (Read 112172 times)
Yep, bitcoin sounds money to me.
I diffenately aggree that bitcoin is money since it is named a currency. Literaly money is used to buy, or trade products, in case on bitcoin people can be traded to fiat currency in order to trade in real product, so basicaly in my point of view, yes it is money.
For sure it is money , when you can exchange it for goods it is pretty much money.
YES. lol
Bitcoin is a digital online currency & Bitcoin is regulated by no nation or bank. So we want to say that this is a online money. In reality it can be hand-operated in the same way, it is also traded through online.
Bitcoin is absolutely money because it is a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a unit of account. Once BTC is accepted onto a global market then you won't be asking if it is lol.
Yes it's. Bitcoin will be the currency of the future because
Bitcoin is best currency in the world
Bitcoin is best currency in the world
Bitcoin is a trading object for me.
Bitcoin can give a huge opportunity to make a fortune. Of course, it isn't that easy. People who invested in it between 2009 and 2011 are already rich and they are probably observing what is happening right now. Even if you invest small amount of money, you will earn thanks to hardforks which happen time to time and increasing Bitcoin value.
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?
Bitcoin is a type of virtual currency which u can't see just have it with you. Bitcoin is on the verge of replacing the physical currency and its growth is for sure.

Bitcoin is more than a system to store and transfer value from one person to another. Bitcoin is a protocol, a computer network, and much more.
i think bitcoin will be money because bitcoin can be change money . Money can be simply bought that things . if bitcoin do not buy things , bitcoin will not be money . if you have so much bitcoin , you will have so much money

Yes, bitcoin is money, digital or virtual money and operates using blockchain technology, which is an innovation that will benefit mankind that goes far beyond cryptographic applications.

Yes it can be money if you convert it to your currency that's why bitcoin is a money. In fact, this is is crytocurrency.
Though it's not a real money like fiat but the fact that bitcoin has a value it can be called as money. I would love to have a lot of bitcoin and I will surely become rich, this is not a regular money because by holding it as an investment
we can expect the value will grow.
