For me it is kind of worse than real money because I can't use it in shops. It is better for online shops though.
Bitcoin is just 6 years old. It is already a great achievement that we can use it online. In the future, we can use it everywhere.

The places were we can use our bitcoin are restricted,but if we achieve mainstream we can pay our bills ,go market and shopping and pay with bitcoin,i believe over the next 10 years this will be possible.
yes just today. perhaps because of regulations made by the local authorities prohibiting bitcoin. This is only temporary

yes just today. perhaps because of regulations made by the local authorities prohibiting bitcoin. This is only temporary Yes bitcoin is like real money to me. I can buy something online and paying online with bitcoin, and i usually gambling with my real money in real life. and now i can use bitcoin for it.
But still the fact remains that bitcoins can only be used online and it's like other online wallets like google play store credits which cannot be used as fiat unless they are sold for fiat cash. It's virtual money only IMO.
I still think bitcoin should remain as an online currency, it is fundamentally a currency designed for the internet world

it is real money for me for sure as i can buy either digital or physical goods with it really easily and you can use it anytime you want, i think that makes it real money
Guys, when you are saying that Bitcoin is real money because you can always change it to local currency then using the same logic we can say that potato is real money too because we can always sell it for local currency and then buy anything with it. )
This doesn't make any sense. What about all the stores that accept btc as payment?
What about many digital goods here in the forum that have the price in btc?
you're missing the point here.

I dont think so because i can save bitcoin today and i can sell bitcoin after a year or when the price of bitcoin goes up asnd i think you cannot do that with your potato

You cannot compare a food item with bitcoins. It can rather be compared to gold as even gold is traded for cash and similar is the case with bitcoins. If only bitcoins did not need any conversion, it could be used as real cash. It needs to be traded in order to buy items online and offline.

Perhaps the author meant by real money is that we've been able to buy anything with bitcoin easily and perhaps because he used to buy something with bitcoin. So he considers bitcoin as real money, and if so it would not hurt.

Yes bitcoin is real money for me but its also a difficult situation, you have to transfer your money. Overall its no problem but it takes sometime, plus you can be scammed real easy.
But you can pay with bitcoin so I consider it as real money.

Yes I agree with you. Do you know why. I think Bitcoin is also a frequently used money.
You can deposit to your bank and you can buy things with it so therefore it is real money to me.

Bitcoin is definitely real money to me. Do you know why?
Because you can exchange it to your own bank account and you can buy things with it. So why it is not real money to me.

Same answer with everyone here. Perhaps some experiences could really help for us to know where or how we can spend it. And how you made it real money for you. The question sucks so let us just get more answers to it than the question.

Of course it's real money. You can use it in any way you want to buy food, clothes or anything else. With time there will be more merchants accepting it.
Yeah it's like real curency if you can buy products every day. I think of it like a paypal alternative.
An average Joe might look at bitcoin as an alternative to paypal, to consider bitcoin as real money. Same way we can see bitcoin as alternative to gold when considering it as investment.
The discussion is natural that some people consider bitcoin as real money.
