i can not say that it is real for me, i can not touch it or hold it in my hand so its pretty hard to imagine that

Bitcoin is a digital money...so how can you touch it?just only appear in internet..if you wanted to touch you can convert it to dollar..
And why must we touch it?..the fact is we can earn , buy/sell a things and do transfer in there..so for me its a real money

It still has a long way to go to become real money. For the most part is is only as real as the amount of fiat it can be exchanged into. Even the merchants accepting it are pretty much an illusion, as most of them are using a services such as bitpay, where the transaction is immediately converted into fiat. Until we get to the point that a majority of merchants are happy to keep the BTC and not instantly get it converted, and further when they can use that BTC to purchase their supplies from the upstream supply chain, who again further purchase resources and labor with BTC, it is simply a token representation of fiat.

My name says everything. Bitcoin is real money, true free and independent money.

No fiat can ever be as real as BTC!

For each people have different feel about bitcoin. A half of them beliefs that bitcoin is real money. But a half other using bitcoin as only virtual money.

not really, because i still cant buy stuff that i want with it.

Of course its limited for now. Only few stores in some country has a store that accept bitcoin. Maybe in the near future lots of store will do it. But if youre talking online well just go around in the forum and there's a lot of stuff selling.

Dont' worry mate, the day will come soon when you could buy anything that you want, I don't know which country you belong to but there are e commerce websites that have already started to accept bitcoins as a mode of payment, or else you can convert your bitcoins to your local currency and make it real.

I believe there is no need to wait any more when you have bitcoin debit cards. There are many trusted bitcoin debit card providers. With a bitcoin debit card you can spend your bitcoins both online as well as in physical stores also.

That's true, but it also depends in which country you are living, as I don't think that you can use bitcoin debit cards everywhere, you can only use if that particular shop is accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment, and I haven't seen anyone yet in my country that accepts bitcoin at physical stores.

As far as the money we get it through transaction of bitcoins in local currencies. I feel like its real for me, even I can't touch but value of local money we receive comes through bitcoins only. So its real for me.

Bitcoin can not be touched but when you exchange it with your local currency then you will see how good it felt to have some bitcoins in your wallet. Also when it is rising you will get more than what you expect for.

Exactly, no doubt we cannot touch bitcoins but when it is converted to fiat, we can have the same feeling of holding bitcoins, as the fiat that we receive is only because of bitcoins, and if bitcoin can help us in buying anything or converting it to fiat then it becomes real money.

Bitcoin is a digital money that can bring you things you can touch ,the thing is there isnt yet a place to buy those things without problems or issues related the fact bitcoin isnt reversibel ,openbazar should change those but when it will be ready is another question.

Maybe you should try using it when buying something online. That way you might feel that it is really real when you are holding that thing you had bought. We people kinda want to see something physically to see its reality so that might help.

No fiat can ever be as real as BTC!

Not only any fiat, any commodities (like gold) also can not match with bitcoin when we are considering it's real applications.
Only bitcoin can be a real money like fiats and can be real investment as any commodity.

of course it is, why wouldnt it be money if it has value? its even better than money as you can use it howmuch you want

I think something has to dollar price is not necessarily the money. what you could call gold is money, because gold has a price to the dollar?

I am not sure if I understand you, but the value of everything could be converted to dollar: bitcoin, gold, other fiat currencies - everything.

it is definitely real money for me, a few years ago i bought a computer for it so i dont see why it shouldnt be real money if i can use it for buying

There were shops accepting Bitcoin a few years ago. Bitcoin was worth a lot back then, but I didn't know any shops that accepted it.

Yeah and maybe some of them dont accept anymore due to the fall of bitcoin from 1000 dollars to really low. But some are again accepting seeing how it grows again. It is really risky specially when it is business

No. I also can not use bitcoins in local shops nor physical stores today and always need to convert these bitcoins into fiat which takes a lot of fee as well as time. It may take some more time to use as real money for me.

I am also in need of converting to use bitcoins. It is not worth till bitcoins do need to be converted and hence it will remain a virtual payment option to me.
