Why is real money traded for Bitcoin if it's not considered real money itself? Bitcoin, as a currency, is being exchanged for another currency at an increasing rate, yet only you acknowledge it as 'real'. Change my mind.
Money is money, nothing is real money.
Money created and distributed to citizens by governments and banks is simply money. It is money when it has purchasing power and value but it will be only a useless paper if it loses purchasing and power to zero.
Maybe people want to classify between money created by central banks as real money and money created illegally by criminals is fake money. People like to use these terms to classify money but it is confusing. Real or fake money, if it has zero value, purchasing power to exchange with other things, other fiat currency, it is useless and will become the same, no matter you call it as real or fake money.
