Yes it does indeed. However, should you ask such a question on the bitcoin forum it will most likely be brushed aside with a reply of "the net effect is negligable". When in fact, I would argue it is not.
And it supports microtransactions. The way I've heard it told, you could run an entire world-size economy off of one bitcoin.
So unless you have the situation in which everyone loses their wallets at once, it's just business as usual. Nothing to be concerned about.
