That doesn't actually solve the underlying problem, which is, why would I spend my bitcoin today when it will be worth more tomorrow?
Now, if bitcoin merchants agreed on the expectation that bitcoin will continually rise, it would be rational to price things at a discounted rate. But that is a lot of risk to take considering bitcoin's volatility. In the end I think BTC speculation will do the most to harm its actual economic utility.
