[2015-09-18] MANA Offers Nutritional Food Replacements for Bitcoin

[tyz]

Bitcoin allows customers from all over the world to purchase everyday goods in a convenient fashion.  Most consumers assume Bitcoin payments can only be used for electronics and gift cards and while there are many shops offering those products, there is a lot more to Bitcoin than just that.  Just recently, nutritionally balanced powdered food MANA became purchasable with Bitcoin.

Makes sense that any business that ships international would want to offer bitcoin as an option to lower fraud and chargeback potentials. However, there still remains no reason why any normal consumer would jump through hoops to pay w/ bitcoin w/o any incentives to do so, like discount rewards.

Very true, but at least it's a small step in the right direction

I watched a doc about a guy surviving on Soylent for a month which sounds like a very similar thing. I think there are a few things that are worth preserving as the world spirals into a techno nightmare. Enjoying one's food is one of them.
