  The fact that this needs to be said on the first comment is, to my mind, remarkable and why I've never been a fan of Bitcoin: "Good luck going forward. Considering that you could probably single handedly crash bitcoin with what you have in your wallet... Uh... Please don't?"

The market was recovering from the crash when this happened, and it went down the toilet again right after that.
