no, not really 'real money' for me..
maybe because of i can't use it directly in offline shop at my city now
(can't found 'bitcoin accepted here' in my city until now)
so it's still a digital currency to long term investment for me
to use it in real life as cash, i need to sell it to exchanger first

I will consider Bitcoin real money if I am able to use it worldwide. At this point this is not the case. I see it as an alternative currency. That's basically what it is right now.
It's real money but I think it's "weird" to think about that you can download a wallet (or make one online) find a faucet and thats it. Now you have 'real money'.
That is why bitcoin is so unique. There is no bank. You can have your own bank or wallet in your pc. That is why the government is really trying hard to stop us. We are not connected with them. There is no income for them.

To me it's the most real a currency can get. I think the majority of people will have that understanding in some years.
yes i think bitcoin is'real money' for me. first time i read about bitcoin,it was on end 2013,and i think its a hard to get,and cannot trade to money,but after i try to red more and create wallet,i start to know that bitcoin is real money.but in first time,i believe this is a future payment/money.
i would like to answer no because for me real money means can purchase anything you want and in any place but not so many stores or online shop accept bitcoin as payment method in my country so, currently i only can use my bitcoin for gambling or online shopping but i can not buy foods or drinks using my bitcoin
It's more than real money to me. I use it as a currency, so yes, I see it as money. When it comes to online payments, I solely use Bitcoin. No more fiat currencies. I only wish there were plenty of places in real life where I could also spend it that way.
When I started it was just kind of novelty, now that I've learnt more and used it, it's a real currency to me. I'm not quite ready to get paid in Bitcoin yet but once mass adoption is achieved then no problem.
I had heard about bitcoin for long time but I thought it not a real money so I start to using it and make money online .........wow..... Now, I can say " It is real money"......
You can visit to my website and you will really know about it.....

It is only real money to me if I can purchase food or a home with it, which I can if a home seller or food market will accept Bitcoin.
Sure it is. I can buy stuff with Bitcoin, change it for any other currency (even easier than some of real currencies) or invest it. It is more than currency, i can travel around globe using it and avoid to have full pocket of different banknotes and coins.
For most of the people it is as real as a foreign currency: The only thing you can do with a foreign currency is to exchange it to your domestic currency and spend. However, each foreign currency have one specific country that you can spend without conversion, for bitcoin this country does not exist physically on the earth, but its inhabitants are living everywhere in the world, so it is a currency that belongs to an invisible country

Bitcoin is real enough for me to be considered "money". Money is a slippery concept though, it typically has these attributes:
1) Unit of Account (how much things are worth in the currency being used)
2) Means of Exchange (trade money for cattle)
3) Store of Value (where most currencies actually fail over a longer term).
I do not mean to quibble. BTC is real enough for me because I can buy gold with it.
But should our Asian bearing suppliers ever accept BTC as payment, whoa, then BTC really would rock for us (our small company).

Reminds me of precious metals, yet much more advanced, Gold 2.0 as some call it.
Gold is seen to have value in the same way that Bitcoin is to my understanding.

There is nothing wrong considering bitcoin as a real money. Why not? you can buy shoe, dress, food etc using bitcoin. It is online money for me. You can use it in buying anything like physical money thats why i consider it.
Every and any currency is real money. If it has value, it's money.
For me it is real money, but everyone wants to change it to USD or EUR or whatever if they want to use it most of the time so, it is like a transition coin..
To me bitcoin is not real money. And what I mean by that is that while it can be used as such, I never and of doing it. I see it more as investment tool, that has properties of both a stock and a currency. I don't like spending bitcoin!
yes anything that people accepting as payment i consider as 'real money'
and even greater you can do transaction and spending it, so yes i think bitcoin has become 'real money' for me
and people also willing to work hard to earn it
