I believe that the statement: "bitcoin is new kind of money" passes the duck test.
Bitcoins function as money (they're a unit of account, a medium of exchange, and a store of value), and if PayPal started allowing Bitcoin transactions tomorrow I'm certain they'd treat them as Just Another Currency.
If you like, call it a commodity, but I think all you'll accomplish is confusing potential users who might think they'll end up getting pork-bellies delivered to their porch if they don't get rid of their bitcoins.

Yes, So do I. You can use Bitcoin to buy and sell goods that means Bitcoin has value, Bitcoin can transfer with normal money through exchange rate. If Bitcoin could not be called money, what will it be called, huh?
