I have heard several terms used to describe Bitcoin and altcoins. Digital currency, cryptocurrency, and my least favorite virtual currency. Do you feel the connotations associated with each of these terms paint Bitcoin in a particular light?
For example I feel mainstream media tend to use the term virtual currency in an attempt to associate cryptocurrency with a sense of "it's not a real thing".
Whether intentional or not I think each of these terms will invoke a different response from a crypto layman depending on which term is used. Or does it not really matter in your opinion? Thoughts?
I don't use the word "virtual" referring to Bitcoin,it's real money to me I can withdraw it buy a lot of stuffs offline,for me virtual connotes not real when in fact they are much real and had impact on millions of people I prefer to call it crypto currency.
