I am buying almost everything with bitcoins and I can even send them and receive them in my wallet like real money so its definitely money to me as I am getting the goods in exchange of my bitcoins.

Nah you are a bit missunderstanding bitcoin isn't money because we need to exchange our local currency first for get bitcoin or sell bitcoin first to get money. IMO what it's mean with money is paper money not digital currency.

Lol, care to think of this, your campaign owner pay you with bitcoin for your service right? So from the definition of money, bitcoin does fits it. Aside from that, there are lots of online store that accept bitcoin as payment for their goods, that resembles money right? Then Japan and Philippines announces that bitcoin is money, I bet you won't argue with that. Then west Virginia is considering bitcoin as money since the properties of money can be seen in bitcoin. Now tell me, what argument you have to say bitcoin is not money, because if this is your argument
