Concept NACK.

1.7 million Bitcoin represents possibly about 1 week of global trading 
volumes. Even assuming it is 1-2 months of trading volumes, the market can 
absorb.

Trying to manage the Bitcoin price via spending restrictions is a terrible 
idea.

In any case, the Bitcoin price routinely drops by upwards of 85%. It is not 
a security concern. Price volatility is not a security.
