Spending == selling.
If you spend your coins it just means than someone else will hold those coins.
Accepting bitcoin is good for the merchant and there will be time when merchant will not accept fiat anymore and you can't buy good/service you want unless you're willing to spend bitcoin, but that time isn't here yet (except for in some places) and best way to support bitcoin is by holding it yourself.
Bitcoin first need to prove to be store of value, then it can move slowly towards being medium of exchange.
