Yes, it is, but unlikely fiat, due to its deflationary nature, Bitcoin is also easily seen as an investment that appreciates in value over time.

Yes bitcoin is real money to me and I accept it for any purchase in my store located in junction city oregon. Likely the first in the city if not county, but we are a start.

What kind of store is this Sir? Wow that is a good start. More and more shops that accepts bitcoin as payment. Surely bitcoin will be more known once they see those posters or stickers that are in your front door.  Grin


We are a locally hand made store. Kinda like a head shop but we don't sell any tabacco. I'm building a thread in the market place and I hope to make my services visable and available to anyone over 18 on this site Smiley   here's a link to our fb page https://www.facebook.com/localheads.junctioncity/

We are still new to everything so don't beat me up too much over the current shortage of pictures and content Smiley

It's really to me because I can pretty much do the same things I can do with fiat.
I can buy stuff with bitcoins as well, even though it is limited as to where I am able to do this though.

Of course it is real money. You buy it with real money. It is a currency, so therefore it is real money. It is not real real, as in you can touch it, but it is still real money.

Well its the same as when I saw this documentary where this man went on for over an hour about how our money  is not real and the host asked, 'How much do you have?' He replied '$200' so the host said 'If it's not real, can I have half' to which the answer was 'No I buy things with it'

So if Bitcoin can buy "things" and there is a ledger showing that it is not being printed or copied or counterfeited like fiat currency then it is certainly real money to me!

We can use bitcoin to buy things. That is different from other "real money". So I think bitcoin is real money.

Yeah that is right. Some think it is not because they havent tried using it yet outside. They think it is just a money online. Like those games that you can buy premium items with your online money. And thats it for them.

We know that bitcoin only online money (virtual money) we just treat bitcoin as like 'real money' . Because we can use bitcoin to buy something or pay something although we do it in internet, not really

I don't agree with that. Seeing bitcoin as a virtual currency is what they make us believe.
In fact bitcoin is a decentralized currency, which is not controlled by a group of 'developers' or a board and can be used to make actual purchases.
Well in a Bitcoin has an ingenious means of getting around the legal framework put in place in most countries. 99% of other countries say that citizens can't make a competitor to "x" currency, specifically physical currency. Bitcoin manages to work around that by being a digital currency, and is thus "legal" in most countries.

The other distinct advantage has that other competitors to normal currencies have is that it is decentralized, as you said, so there is no way to shut it down even if it is deemed "illegal".
