There's a consistent theme that I see popping up on here that I find rather fascinating, and that is the way that many posters perceive BTC.

What do I mean? People doing things with BTC that they'd never, ever dream of doing with their dollars - gambling as an 'investment', or gambling at all, pouring coins into bullshit investment schemes run by totally anonymous showers of shit, lending on here to shambolic morons, asking the question 'where do I get free coins?'

Considering how much of a pain up the arse it can be to obtain coins and keep them safe and their future potential, I find it bizarre that there's such an extreme disconnect. I would've thought it should be at the opposite end of the scale but that's clearly not the case for many.

Why do you think this attitude has developed and where do you stand yourself?

on one side, i consider bitcoin as real money, because bitcoin really can be exchanged for local currency or local payment, but on the other hand I also do not consider bitcoin as real money, because bitcoin on dasarny not have a physical form, I know the money must have a physical form, although sometimes there is also casascius as a physical form.

I believe that the format or physical form can not define my real money. I'm ready to accept my money in any form.
Even bitcoin can be converted into my local fiats or I can spend my bitcoin through debit cards, I find my bitcoins still as an investment. It may take some more time to use my bitcoins as real money.
