This means that they're more willing to spend it.
Bitcoiners then become a market that is more willing to spend bitcoins than dollars, which means any business seeking their patronage has to choose between selling for dollars, or selling for bitcoins...
Under that scenario, the Bitcoiners market segment is easier to sell to by accepting bitcoins than by accepting dollars.
This means, there is an advantage for a merchant to accept bitcoins, when they're selling to that market segment.

IMO, early on this could have been majorly shortcutted because the expectations regarding what Bitcoin is, what it could become, etc. were enough to create a snowballing effect where people joined in just because they had high expectations for the future.
But thanks to BTC/Core (cue maniacal laughter,) this has been completely undermined, and now we are forced to take the path of building first for fellow Bitcoiners, and second for outsiders who can benefit from our particular competitive advantages.
Over time, if we do this well, I believe we will achieve significant economic strength, sufficient draw for new users of our services (value coming into our economy,) and incentives for businesses to court us for our patronage.
