I think Occupy was where I first encountered Libertarian ideas and people...not many here in New Zealand at the time, but some. They were engaging and excited about their ideas- more than most other people who were more left leaning. Socialism here in NZ is mostly of the milder variety like Sweden. We have sometimes been described as the Sweden of the South Pacific. At the time I did not know of Bitcoin but only much later in 2017 did I become aware of it. The majority of the people at the Occupation here in Christchurch were left leaning but I found a lot of them virtue signalling and inconsistent. To this day I do not find either doctrinaire Socialist or Libertarian ideas convincing on the whole although I agree with parts of them both. The world has changed since the industrial revolution when Socialism probably made more sense. Bitcoin I see as a good response to a corrupt fiat monetary-banking-political system that exists today whether you are from the left or right but most left leaning people I know do not understand Bitcoin and call it a scam which is disappointing. So few people really understand the fiat monetary system and raising the level of understanding might probably require further wake up calls like the GFC.
