Although bitcoin has many good properties, I was more interested in a currency which would be very stable and could be used to price other goods and services. A currency that could be used for purchases on a daily basis. It seemed that the limited amount of bitcoin would cause it to behave much more like a digital commodity rather than a stable currency. It would not be accepted by many merchants unless they could convert it quickly to a fiat currency.

Sorry, if you are interested in a currency that would be "very stable" and be used to price other goods, then you shouldn't be using bitcoin. It was never intended to be made as a stable currency, hence the cap of the total supply. Merchants are still accepting bitcoins. In fact you will see that every site that supports crypto currency as a payment option will have bitcoin included.

There are payment gateways that allows merchants to integrate and accept bitcoin from users while quickly converting it to fiat currency.
