I've already posted in this thread, but I have to say that bitcoin is becoming less and less like real money to me, and I'm beginning to see it more as a store of value--like precious metals. And I think a lot of bitcointalkers feel the same way, because it seems like no one wants to spend theirs. I mean people around here hold on to their bitcoin like misers almost. So it's failing as a currency, but I think it's a good way to save money. That is, if the price doesn't tank. That's always a possibility.
Currently, since there's the huge selloff going on, I'm opting to spend my Bitcoin and get some goods out of it instead of holding it for right now. I simply do not have the confidence to keep holding onto it, as I worry another event similar to summer 2014 is in the works. Hopefully I won't disappear from the site, but only time will tell right now.

It is real to me.
It was a little more fun once my mining gear was paid for to buy stuff with it
Now I buy and spend and save

Yes it is, as far as i have seen now a days i can use bitcoin for many things, and if somewhere it isnt accepted then i can exchange it for other currencies.
This is a yes/no answer to me because it can be of the same value as real money.
But i can't feel it in my hands only see a visual of it on a display.

Well it could only be a display in your bitcoin wallet unless you convert it to FIAT. And for me that I always do, it is 'real money' for me.
Seriously, it is indeed a real money to me. Technically, it is more to real virtual money.
It's more intimate, I can just feel it, when I look at my bitcoin balance, I can feel that it's there.
Then I think about the bitcoin logo, and it feels very real.
Yes for me Bitcoins are real money and have several reasons to believe that, but hardly have a reason to look at bitcoins as a non-real money. I can buy , exchange, do almost anything with bitcoins. 
love you BTC .
love you BTC .
Well you can buy real things with it so it has to be, right? It has value and it can be exchanged for other valuable things.
i consider btc more of a commodity than actual money, i am not actually using it but more of holding it as an investment.
Yes for me it is realy money. I can do the same thing with fiat as I can do with bitcoin. The difference is that it's not accepted everywhere
yes, it's digital money and an payment method.
Also you pay with your money to get the value digital.

Of course Bitcoin is real money to me. Why should that not be the case.
You can include buying stuff. Bitcoin is worth therefore it is real money. You can do almost anything with it. So yes it is real money to me.

Anything that can be exchanged to USD or money is money to me, Gold, BTC, Doge and every commodity that is worth something is actual money, of course you can't buy things directly with it but it has a certain value.
I believe bitcoins will certainly get accepted to more and more stores and websites as time goes on. Bitcoins are surely real money for me because I can actually do anything I like with them, like I can buy domains or anything I love buying or earning.
Remember one thing digital fiat or bitcoin for sure has worth otherwise would exist any shop online where you can buy almost anything,sure there isnt yet a market to allow to buy and sell for crypto coins but it will be ready one project related to it ,openbazar.

It's the only real money I know, anything else is either too heavy, or too light like dust...
yeah same with me. but different if you ask in ordinary people This is a yes/no answer to me because it can be of the same value as real money.

It is a real money i have to say even if you can't feel it off your hands. You can buy things with it, and those purchases you can hold for yourself.

Anything that can be used to buy items online or offline or be exchanged to money to do the same is real money in my opinion, Bitcoin is real money and an interesting concept too.
Yup I would agree with you dude. In future bitcoin will be better than fiat. For me bitcoin is a real money It will be active for long time. It will go from the world. price will be matter among other fiat and digital currencies.
