yes it is a 'real money' because it almost full fills all my wish and the wishes it cant fullfill is due to rest of the peoples dont know about it or dont belive in this. but if they also use it ( like they are beliving and using the faint ) then i am sure all my wishes will be fulfilled i can buy candies with bitcoin from my local shop and i know someday it will be true i am waiting for that day and i hope many peoples are waiting fr the same day it like proving for our existance..yeah we are the bitcoiners and one day we will rule the world i mean with friends :p

Yes if you can buy real things by using bitcoins the bitcoin is a real money, as I use it for online shopping, online transfers and I am getting money in the form of fiat by converting my bitcoins then it becomes real for me, the only thing is that I cannot hold bitcoins physically but if it is taking care of my needs then it is real.

If it could be used for buying, selling things, then i would say it's real money, even it doesn't have a physical form.
Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a particular country or socio-economic context, or is easily converted to such a form. (By wikipedia)

BTC can be exchanged to real money "USD and local currencies" and therefore I consider it real cash regardless of it being electronic or not.

besides that way bitcoin can stand alone, can be used directly to buy goods or other without direct exchange it to fiat money, bitcoin is real money

When we are all the late adopters seeing bitcoin as a real money to spend it wherever possible to pay with bitcoin. Whereas the early adopters (including Satoshi) are still seeing bitcoin as an investment.
But time will answer who will benefit more by using bitcoin either real money or investment.

Yes we can't guess who will be the ultimate winner either the person who is using Bitcoin as money or the one who has used as investment but both are getting benefited and till now it's the early adopters who are in more benefit

Like saving money, saving bitcoin is only possible if you have excess bitcoin after your monthly needs.
Without fulfilling your monthly needs you can not be saving bitcoin as an investment for future.
So, using bitcoin for investment or real money is highly dependent on how much bitcoin your making or already holding.

I think that the value the individual places on bitcoin is determined by the value the community places on bitcoin as a whole. Bitcoin is worth, to the individual, only what the community determines the value should be. The problem is that the community, as a whole, doesn't respect the technology as much as it should. It's a perpetual feedback loop. Perceptually, the community pushes around bitcoin with impunity but in reality there are those who are lying in the cut, quietly collecting what is being thrown around....And, soon the curtain will fall, and the value will be stabilized by a consolidation of bitcoin into the hands of those who respect the technology most.

Never ending parties are what Im into.

Money is only seen through perceptions of what people think is valuable. The only reason that paper money has value is because people think it has value, and thus trade it that way.

One civilization used pears (IIRC) as currency. The same concept of perceived value can be applied to bitcoin. It's not the fact that mining costs money which makes Bitcoin have value, but rather that people think Bitcoin is worth (whatever amount it is right now).

Yes, and no. Only because it isn't seen as real money to most people. It is hard to make people take Bitcoin at a local shoprite but sometimes you can make them take it at some shady corner store.

Bitcoin is absolutely real money. I am also astonished that so many gamble it or do strange risky investments - things no one would normally do with regular USD or whatever their country currency is. There seems to be a psychological disconnect that still exists with it, perhaps because it used to be more like an internet token like someone said. I personally see it as very real money. It is one of my "bank accounts" and take from it when I need as any other bank account. As the price continues to rise this should change, but I am surprised with the price as high as it is now that people do not treat it as real money.

Why not? As long as I can use it to buy products on store or online, or able to exchange it to dollar. Bitcoin becomes popular now. In a few years' time bitcoin will become standard way of payment, same as paypal or skrill etc

Yeah nowadays that is what is missing.. the kind of payment online. They all use paypal but it is still a dollar. Here is the solutiin. Bitcoin os an online money and thats it.

Yes the day I have started using bitoins I haven't used WU or paypal as bitcoin is very effective and time saving and with least fees and the best thing is that the credits are instant so If bitcoin can me transferred online to your bank account and if it is converted to fiat then it becomes a real money.

why don you ask is dollar money to you ?

if they are no trust on the dollar or watever it just a paper .

if you're comparing with the dollar of course it will be different
the dollar has a very long history
the dollar is not an ordinary paper it will always be valuable

yes dollar is very diff, however, i do believe bitcoin has value in it. so that is why i am putting my real dollar in exchange for bitcoin. given enough time and development, bticoin too will hopeful be stable enough to be accepted by many people.

it took a lot of time to be stable bitcoin price, if the price ofbitcoin is stable are you sure people will adopt bitcoin ?

I do believe that Bitcoin is real money which is being accepted and evolving very fast and soon I think next year many people will begin to believe it is real money.

we are always waiting for the evolution from society, the evolution of the community for a practical payment
we wait for adoption society for bitcoin, when it happen ?

That will come. Due to many big companies adapting it, it will not lose that easily or that will be a great lost to them too. We know they dont want that to happen. Let us just buckle up for the big rise.
