I do not view it as a real money probably due to the difficulty in exchanging it to cash or buy items with it in my country, I use it to pay for online items and transactions though.

No, i would always have that thought of cashing out my BTC as soon as the price raises. I dont think its more real because maybe you cant use it for everyday activities atleast yet. I am a person who does not keep more than $100.

Bitcoin could become it's own currency one day.
Where bitcoin could be independent from any fiat.

One day that will just take years to be the number one.
Bitcoin is like a real money you can buy home cars or other things.

There is no way that bitcoin is no money because is just something that you can purchase and sell everything.

I perceive Bitcoin as a virtual money balance similar to PayPal for buying items primarily online. I don't cash out to my bank account.

No, because I cant use it to pay something in my local region yet.. I hope soon there some shop in my region accepting bitcoin.

you can use it online, come on, anyone on this planet, minus third world have access to internet, there is really no excuse anymore to use bitcoin

i think people are more scared to lose their money when they buy bitcoin, that's the real reason, they still see it as an asset for investment, when bitcoin is more of a young currency
But it will takes much fees if use it for online thing, because I have to pay extra for shipping. That will cost much from my wallet.

well that is true for fiat also, so what's your point there? usually when you buy online you have fat better choice than with phisical shop

Well that is just beter to collect bitcoin and trade or or hold it.
For shopping online is just better to just fiat for the in your country for shopping.

Bitcoin is nice to but something when if they are some discounts like in Black Friday.

You can't use another country's currency to pay in your local region either. That doesn't make it not a real currency. It will take time for Bitcoin to spread, what with all the volatility and high learning curve.
I dont get it what you're said, I mean is I cant use bitcoin to paying something in my country yet. But when there some merchant then I could pay them with my bitcoin.

Bitcoin was something that wasn othing now is something that is really good for traders and still something is still real money, but is not like we use it in real life like in groceries for some use it, but that many people and there is also not that many stores that accept it.

Still is real money you can buy sell or anything with bitcoin so that is really nice.

In my opinion real money is money that can be used to purchase services and obtain goods, This can be done by BTC in a large number of fields plus BTC can be exchanged to USD and plenty of other currencies through exchanges and then used to buy items, it's real cash IMO
any yes all this now actually be purchased with bitcoin. we just stay with dollar exchange.

Ya can even exceed the price of the local currency. possible for me also feel bitcoin transactions are real money my eyes.
Bitcoin is also very easy to use in the transaction.

That is great if you see it like that. The more of us looking at it like that the merrier. Seems like there are also some people that are now stopping due to the fact that is going down. I hope they come back and also see that bitcoin is real money just like you.
Ya.. up and down the price it was a regular thing on the currency. Currencies such as the dollar, etc. also would have experienced ups and downs. In order to ride must be managed properly so that prices continue to rise. Bitcoin will progress and a lot of people who follow bitcoin, I believe it.

I think it is just gold that is going up now. But bitcoin is going back to. I guess demands are going back and some buyers are still there to invest their fiat for bitcoin.

Bitcoin is just as real to me as fiat is. Both of these are, in my eyes different kinds of currencies. I see bitcoin as my alternative one seeing as that I can't use bitcoin on a daily basis yet.

True. Just wait.

lol I will cite as you said,

dollar or other currency who cannot use it to buy goods or stuff in your country or a country, could you call it is not real money?

Correct, even if you can make online purchases using bitcoin then it becomes real money and it can also be converted  to fiat currency  which can help you to buy stuffs in your country, so basically it is taking care of your needs, and don't worry  there would be day when you can pay direclty with bitcoins to buy any physical  product.
