Interestingly, former US President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump paid the bill at a bar in New York using Bitcoin (BTC).
Trump, with the help of his officers, made the payment via QR code and sent BTC to the other party.
After the payment was made, the people around celebrated this moment with applause.
Trump has warmed to cryptocurrencies during his campaign in recent months. At a major Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Trump said he wants to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.” He has also been involved in digital markets with various NFT collections, including a mugshot. In July, the Trump campaign raised nearly $3 million from donors with connections to the crypto world. This comes just a few months after Trump became the first presidential candidate to accept campaign donations in cryptocurrency.
