Yifu's statement is true in some regards, he have spoken to Martin as well, and especially with the Food and Finance group so far the Bitcoins is not being used towards GA at all, and internal GA communication about Bitcoins has been rather poor. there's currently no plans to utilize the Bitcoin funds, however exposure had happened and many Groups has been aware of Bitcoin's involvement and are now thinking of ways to use it.
Thanks for more news from the ground, Disposition, and I'm glad they're trying to find the best way to use the coins rather than just cashing out quickly. I hope at least of the protesters realize that deriding big banks while simultaneously receiving donations through Mastercard and VISA is, shall we say, a suboptimal arrangement. And speaking as a donator, I like the the fact that my bank doesn't know that I've donated money to OWS.
As far as the fundraiser, I matched the 19 donated since the challenge and a bit more by kicking in another 25, bringing the total to 423 btc on the address. Thanks to everyone that donated! I'll update this thread if I hear anything about what the coins were used on.
