I still don't think that the occupy movement will do much (if anything) to bitcoin in the long run.

The more the merrier. It would be more people to spread the word about BitCoin, that may be good considering the occupy movement seems to consist of people that are mainly active within their movement, so therefore this can benefit similar like minded movements. It just depends whether the occupy movement would see BitCoin as a similar and like minded movement, I believe they would.

I think the Occupy movement first needs to decide what it's protesting for/against. I went to my local protest just to look around and there were people protesting everything from marijuana legalization, to tax rates, to 9/11 conspiracies, to wealth inequality.

Seems like a lot of people who are pissed about a bunch of stuff. Spreading the word about Bitcoin is fine but it looks like they have other issues they want to deal with first.

I think that the Occupy movements are actually a whole bunch of different, smaller movements rolled into one to gain a larger presence than if they were all separate. There's no reason why BitCoin couldn't be added to the mix, especially if other members of the Occupy movement began to accept donations in it. Wink
