When Trump Bought Red-Meat Bitcoin Burgers, He Called It 'Crypto' 🤯

Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump won chits from the Bitcoin community for reportedly purchasing smash burgers at a Bitcoin-friendly New York pub. But in a way, the whole episode was about damage control.

Bitcoiners aren't usually the forgiving type – especially toward perceived apostates who ape into other cryptocurrencies. That's why Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump's visit last week to a beloved Bitcoin bar in New York appeared so well timed – to repair any lost credibility after he and his family started promoting a decentralized-finance project that appears rooted in other blockchain ecosystems.
