Trump just paid with Bitcoin!
We got a nice little bibbity-bibbity b-b-b-bump!
You know, maybe this whole “kill everyone who opposes the Jews” thing is not so bad.
Former President Donald Trump made history in a New York City bar Wednesday, becoming the first US president to ever use Bitcoin to complete a transaction.
Trump, 78, used the cryptocurrency to pay for burgers and beers he bought for patrons of PubKey, a Manhattan bar and restaurant famous for accepting Bitcoin, ahead of a Long Island campaign rally.
“I just made the first transaction in Bitcoin,” the ex-prez declared to roars of approval from the crypto loving crowd.
Trump, aided by a PubKey employee, appeared to use a cellphone and a tablet belonging to the bar to complete the transaction.
He said the payment was “very easy.”
…
Trump’s photo-op at the Bitcoin bar comes the same week he talked up cryptocurrencies during the unveiling of World Liberty Financial, a new crypto venture founded by businessmen Steve Witkoff and the former president’s sons, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump.
Trump needs to get in on this crypto shit. We all need to start making a lot of money again.
He can be the next Sam Bankman-Fried, only he won’t get caught.
A lot of people made a lot of money with Bankman. He was a crypto genius, whatever they say about him. If he wouldn’t have gotten caught, Bitcoin would be at $1,000,000 by now.
If Trump says “my number one issue is Israel… the Jews are second only to my new crypto venture,” then I will endorse him as my favorite pick for this fake election.
Trump announces he will host a Space on X to launch his DeFi token, World Liberty Financial, next Monday.
This is a horrible misstep 🤦‍♂️
