Yes, it is my online money. I will NOT use any currency other than bitcoin when I surfing the web (including USD/EUR/credit card (as I don't have one as of now).

As long as you can withdraw it to the real cash money.
Then i consider it as a real money, but basically it is virtual.
As long as bitcoin belongs only to someone it is real.

Bitcoin is virtual, it is stored digitally. However, it is also real.
I can use bitcoin to buy goods. I have bought computer components, motherboards. I have used it to pay my phone bill.
So bitcoin is useful. It is real.
If you can buy/trade with something, it is a real currency, as long as it is some minimal amount of universal acceptance.
so the body of a girl is a currency? there must be a difference between the two right...
plenty of other examples out there, what it is not a real currency then?

Bitcoin is virtual or illusion online money.
It can't be touched so it is not a real money.
Bitcoin is just number which is visualized on our monitors, but yeah it is real money because we can buy things.
It's 'machine to machine' transactions but it makes sense to us, same like the e-banking money.

Are you kidding me. So money is money because it can be touched? You must be living in the 19th century.
All modern money doesn't exist, it's just numbers on computers. Physical money will be gone in 2 decades or so, no one will use cash. It will all be digitalized.
Money is money if it gives you what you want to exchange with it. That's all. The people of the past used physical stuff to trade because they didn't had any better options.
I think what he means is that Bitcoin has no real intrinsic value as gold has. One can argue that fiat doesn't have that also, it's just paper, but of course we all know it's not the same, that's another debate for another time.

Since you can't touch it it is not yours, believe it or not.
I know that money is being digitized but it will not be disappear as you are stating.
And since we are in the bitcoin community and our deals are from/to other countries bitcoin is good because of the low transaction fees.

You may be right with respect to the physical character of bitcoin. But with respect to real usage and applications, we can find bitcoin more friendly and can be used any sectors. In my experience I find bitcoin as a real money.

Is Bitcoin 'real money' to you?
Yes, I previously enjoyed gambling with small amounts of BTC and the winning/losing felt very real.
Bitcoin can be used for so many things, it clearly is money.

yes! bitcoin for me is real money because i can use it in paying some goods and service,
Money need to have much bigger supply, so everybody would afford to have at least 1000 units.
1000 Satoshis are pretty cheap today.
It's more like an asset than money.
Imho a "concept" closer to money would have been dogecoin if it would have had success.

BTC is more like electronic gold. Sounds good too

You say you need to have a lot of supply in order to have it be a currency? Technically Bitcoin provides tons and tons of supply. So I think you are a little off. Remember, it is a lot of satoshis in order to actually get 1 Bitcoin.

You can monetize anything so long as someone is willing to trade you for it. Btc is money to me. I can buy and sell almost anything for Btc.
Yes it is real money to me highly volatile though.
it is a saving something option for me 
Well it's not because they don't see bitcoin as a real money, they do. Sometimes it's greed at play here. Since parking bitcoin idling doesn't earn them anything as the amount stays the same they would rather gamble and have some fun with it even though potentially they will end up losing all those coin
In long term, most of the transaction will be purchase of goods or services. Gambling will form a very small part of bitcoin transaction. bitcoin will be real money eventually.
I'm sure the people running the gambling sites regard it as real enough. Gambling's a natural niche. I don't think it'll be going anywhere soon.
