money predates governments, and there are vendors who will sell goods for bitcoin.
Money doesn't predate governments, governments have been around since the earliest tribes, and bartering was the most common way to exchange goods until large governments started issuing currency.
And no, there aren't. I can't walk into any store anywhere I have been and buy goods with bitcoin, nor can I use bitcoin on any of the online shops I have ever been to.
the impression i'm getting is that bitcoin isn't money to you, but bitcoin is money to some people, so it's real money.
Yeah, drug dealers. But even they convert it back to real money when they need to buy things.
