I perceive it as real money, why would I not? I don't do stuff with it which I wouldn't do with fiat. I gamble with it, I use to and still gamble with fiat, I order stuff online with it, if I see something worth buying i.e. and that's it. I don't invest in Ponzis, I don't lend, I don't trade, which is why I am not bothered with price that much, I buy it, spend it and buy again.
So I use it completely as I would use fiat. I will think about price when and if I have enough to sell.
But I believe it would take some more years to make bitcoin as the real money for myself too. Because, without having full value of bitcoin, spending bitcoin would be a bad decision. Currently I am saving some bitcoin on monthly basis for higher values. Maybe in future I will use my bitcoin's as a real money.
