Using cryptocurrency is “very easy,” the Republican presidential candidate said
Donald Trump used Bitcoin to buy cheeseburgers and beer for his supporters at a bar in New York City on the National Cheeseburger Day.
This made Trump the first ever incumbent or former US president to make a payment using the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, according to media reports.
The Republican presidential candidate visited PubKey, a Bitcoin-themed bar and restaurant in Manhattan, shortly before his Long Island campaign rally on Wednesday.
The 78-year-old was helped by the bar’s employees to perform the transaction using his phone and a tablet belonging to PubKey.
“I just made the first transaction in Bitcoin,” Trump announced to cheers from Bitcoin enthusiasts, who packed the establishment. Paying with cryptocurrency was “very easy,” he added.
