I'd say 2 is the bigger issue. I can't say how sick I am of seeing people recommend bitcoin as a solution for every problem when 99% of the time it will not help at all.

"I'm having issues with chargebacks on my service, how can I lower chargebacks?"

"Use bitcoin no chargebacks!" (Thanks, but that doesn't help with the majority of people who want to use credit cards)

"Which cc processor should I use?"

"Use bitcoin! It has almost no cost unlike credit cards" (Thanks, but that doesn't help my problem and you're ignoring the costs/difficulty of putting money into and pulling money out of bitcoin).

etc, etc.

The community as a whole seems bent on spamming it everywhere at the moment and I am seeing a lot more backlash to it in various online forums I frequent.
