I do not consider gold to be money. You can't go and buy most goods and services with gold. Gold is a commodity, dollars are money.
Bitcoin is a virtual currency. It has more in common with paypal than it does with dollars or with gold. I wouldn't really call it money until it is more widely accepted as payment for goods and services.
yes I also agree with you, because it is still virtual so a bit difficult to interact there may be some online stores that have been using this digital / virtual money, maybe .. I also do not know for sure there is a use or No, we will see the good news of bitcoin.
