Bitcoin is a currency and money but in not in particular country. I mean that it is the currency and money of the internet that you pay in your payments through internet.
BTC is actually a new data storage type as well as a currency. Before it's creation you could not have a documents existence verified and timestamped by an entire network of anonymous peers. This ability certainly has value.

By definition "a type of digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank."
So one can say Bitcoin can be called a currency for the virtual world but it can not be called Money because in the physical world it has no value.
the value isn't something that is related to physical or not physical, it is something given by us, anything can have value it does not matter what it is
btw bitcoin is digital not virutal, and being "inside a machine" does not make it less real
Bitcoin is a form of money, just like the USD, that can be used to exchange for things like goods and products. The difference is that currencies like the USD is affiliated to a particular state (for USD, it would be the United States), while Bitcoin has no official affiliation to a particular state. Bitcoin is in the family of digital currency or more appropriately crypto-currency that is controlled by cryptography, allowing it to be untouched and unregulated by a particular political or financial entity.
So yes, Bitcoin is a currency which is a form of money.
