You could just as well say that your dollar lost 10% against bitcoin in a day, who would dare buy something with a dollar with it fluctuating so much so often.

Except my rent and my paycheck are fluctuating 10% in bitcoin, and 0% in dollars.
Because with dollars I can go and buy a loaf of bread today and a loaf of bread tomorrow, and be assured that it'll still be the same price.
In that scenario, you'd want to spend as many dollars as you have since you think they're going to rapidly depreciate in value.
