2013-08-07 - Soylent - Now Accepts BitCoin As Payment Option

[btceic]

Just as Soylent is disrupting the traditional food industry, Bitcoin is revolutionizing the way value is transferred between individuals and businesses.  A completely decentralized online currency, Bitcoin is rapidly gaining traction among tech-savvy early adopters and the wider online population.  We are excited to announce that as of today, we are accepting Bitcoins for Soylent pre-orders. 

Big thanks to the Crowdhoster team for their help implementing this functionality, and their commitment to building the open crowdfunding platform of the future, along with Coinbase, for powering the transactions. 

Please visit http://campaign.soylent.me to pay for your future food with future money!

Soylent is a simple and affordable nutritional drink that has everything the healthy body needs.

Apologies to reiterate my previous sentiments, but even with the "Oatmeal fibre", I fail to see how a permanent diet of this stuff could do your bowels any good, the muscles in your intestines must have something bulky and indigestible to oppose their circular contraction. Maybe a couple times a week, but a permanent diet of this? Do these people dislike food for humans?

Do these people dislike food for humans?

Presumably because it's expensive, time-consuming, and unhealthy.
