Trump used Bitcoin to buy hamburgers in New York and named them "Crypto Burger"

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, appeared in a restaurant in New York City famous for accepting Bitcoin payments, becoming the first former US president to use cryptocurrency for transactions.

This restaurant named Pubkey announced on X on September 19 that Trump used Bitcoin to buy hamburgers in its restaurant, and this transaction was included in the memory block height of 861871. Bitcoin supporter and CEO of Professional Capital Management, Anthony Pompliano, also attended the election campaign. According to the video shot on the spot, Trump bought at least 12 hamburgers and distributed them to the participants on the spot, and called them "Crypto Burger".

Although Trump once called Bitcoin a "scam" and criticized cryptocurrency as "based on air", he changed his attitude towards cryptocurrency in recent years, expressed his support for the miners of Bitcoin in the election campaign in 2024, and spoke at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville. In contrast, Democratic candidate He Jinli has not included cryptocurrency in her political views or campaign activities, and according to information disclosed by Fox journalist Eleanor Terrett, Democratic Party leaders seem to strongly oppose friendly legislation related to cryptocurrency.
