For anyone mining or trading bitcoins. Waking up to see your coins increase in value 40% or 50% is a pretty good feeling.
But what about businesses who wake up to find out no one is buying their products because they are overpriced 40% or 50%?
Dealing with changing prices is a reality for any business, but if the changes are too rapid, it becomes problematic and in the case of bitcoin could slow adoption as a useful alternative currency.

If someone bough something yesterday, the merchant has more money today.

All of the merchant shopping cart interfaces that I know of take the exchange rate into account in real time or near real time. Not really a big issue for the merchant. |

But what is to say people will even want to buy something today if they think their money will be worth even more tomorrow? People stop buying and just hold out for the value to keep going up. |

This has been covered so many times. Would you rather have a sandwich for lunch today or fast and have 2.5 sandwiches tomorrow? |

Having more money does you no good if you never spend it. People will spend rather than save for the same reasons people take out loans to buy things despite it being cheaper to wait and save up ahead of time.
They may spend less and more carefully but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Or you could goto fleshlight.com and use the coupon code ' Rogan ' to get 15% off, and then use money derived from your bitcoins to buy a fleshlight.
