Many people spread that Bitcoin is just "virtual" currency which is not true for sure, because it's real money and we can use to make deals and trades easily
It is a digital currency. I don't prefer the term "virtual" as it created a connection to things that aren't really a currency (various in-game coins for example).

Bitcoin is more of a pseudonymous currency than anonymous.
Correct.

That it can scale. If I remember rightly the wiki breezily runs through the possibilities. When you switch to reading forums you have to wonder whether you're reading about the same coin.
It can with additional layers. It is just difficult to keep it decentralized if you want to scale directly (there are a few  limitations).

The fact I heard was the press and media were saying that bitcoin is dead and it will never rise again, but today we can see the bitcoin have survived and its price is also rising at a moment.
Bitcoin has died 98 times.
