    4. Donald Trump made headlines by purchasing hamburgers using Bitcoin at PubKey Bar in New York.

    Bitcoin Hamburger Purchase

    On September 19, Donald Trump visited the famous crypto-themed PubKey Bar in New York and purchased hamburgers using Bitcoin. This event became historic as it marked the first time a former US president publicly used cryptocurrency for a purchase.

    Context and Reaction

    Trump's transaction, amounting to $998.70 for several dozen burgers, was paid via the Strike app, which utilizes the Lightning Network. PubKey co-founder Drew Armstrong confirmed that he sold the burgers to Trump, who even distributed them himself, playfully calling them 'crypto burgers.' The move was well-received and underscored Trump's engagement in the crypto world.

    World Liberty Financial Token Launch

    In addition to this purchase, Trump recently announced the launch of a private token through World Liberty Financial. The new token will allow holders to vote on governance matters, much like voting shares in publicly traded companies. Whether this represents a true crypto epiphany for Trump or is merely a campaign tactic remains to be seen.

    This move undoubtedly adds a significant new dimension to Trump's career, bridging the worlds of politics and high technology.
