A lot of merchants are giving 25% or more discounts when paying with bitcoin. That's a way to factor the appreciation of the currency into the price and encourage spending.
But that itself is only there because the bubble is expanding right now.
What happens when a government decides enough is enough and buys then dumps BTC? It wouldn't take much capital to cause a bank run type of inflation attack.
