Occupy won't embrace bitcoin because bitcoin is simply another rigged system. They don't want to replace one rigged system with another. It's rigged to benefit the early adopters. Maybe if it were designed so you earn bitcoins by sleeping outside in a park in cold weather rather than wasting electricity to run a fucking computer all day.

Occupy World St. will embrace bitcoin simply because it is not a rigged system. You can still be an early adopter for the next ten years. There are plenty of bitcoins to mine. There is no reason you cannot have your mining computer running while enjoying the camaraderie of your friends at the protest. Maybe you can even profit a little by selling some of your bitcoin to them.
