I agree with the statement..bitcoin is a kind of money bt instead of liquid or paper cash it is in the form of computerized programs(i think so)...apart from this bitcoin cam be used to buy stuffs..so in a way it does have equal value to money
Bitcoin is money and no matter from which side to look on it's point. Yes, bitcoin has different form from that kind of money that we used to have all this time (gold/paper money), but you can use it the same way. Bitcoin is new and it has many things that makes it different from that kind of money that we used to use all this years (no inflation, decentralization). I think that makes people to afraid bitcoin somehow. But I'm sure with time bitcoin will have more and more users and it will stop to look so wired.
yes that is right to say that bitcoin is money. there is no doubt about this. we can use bitcoin in all over the world just like fiat currency and specially for online shopping and business bitcoin is the best option.
