It is no wonder that bitcoin forum will discuss bitcoin. But, there are non-bitcoin forum discussing bitcoin. And there are huge amount of misconception being spread. I just thought of sharing a few such instances. May be you can add up more or go to the respective forum to help a new bitcoiner to understand bitcoin better.

I have no idea where this person took the wrong turn, but I dont think it makes sense to swam other boards and explain bitcoin to people that obviously do not care. If you have been on bitcoin.org and you still think bitcoin is something like paypal it means you did not bother reading the bare minimum of what the site has to offer.
The: use fiat buy bitcoin -> use bitcoin -> payment processor sells bitcoin -> sends fiat to merchant cycle makes no sense anyway.
