Topic: Lol. Trump "makes" his first bitcoin transaction. - page 3. (Read 575 times)
I really don't know why but I think that Trump is not interested in Bitcoin and this is all just a show for more "votes". Of course, this news can have a good effect on the crypto and bitcoin market, but in my opinion, this is just a marketing and Trump knows that the new generation will form a large part of the "voters" and the new generation loves bitcoin.
Politicians can do anything to win voters or electorates minds. In election period they even eat with the poor on the street restaurants. But after the election and when they have gotten the support from the electorates and won the election they would turn their back on them and suffer them with obnoxious policies.
When I saw the news that Donald Trump bought Burger with bitcoin in his hangout with the help of pubkey staff. But now that he has used bitcoin to confirm the legit of bitcoin then he will support bitcoin when he has finally won the election. And many bitcoin companies that have died would resurrect again.

He is winning the Bitcoin supporters. I believe that.
From Day 1, I know he will use Bitcoin as one of his means to win the presidency and I think he is doing it right. I can say his PR is good because the crypto space is growing so large by now and many celebrities and popular people could agree with him and their supporters will also be dragged by what they believe and so he will get more voters for him.
I repeated that video for like 100 times trying to understand how it happened. I can just say he is now getting the heart of Bitcoin supporters.

Does anyone know which Bitcoin wallet Trump used in this video? I can't see the screen well and couldn't find any information about it. I also wonder who controls his Bitcoin wallet. We have a basic rule here - not your keys, not your coins. I believe that Trump has no idea what is a key and seed phrase, someone should have access on his wallet and that's the funniest thing
I don't have a subscription to this publication, but Russian news reports cite it, saying that Trump used the Strike app, which is built on the Lightning Network. The bar itself accepts payments using the Zaprite app.

Trump’s Bitcoin Transaction Makes History at NYC Crypto Bar – Will This Sway Voters?
I put it in quotation marks because he doesn't make it, it has to be made for him. Although it may have significant symbolism, a former US president and presidential candidate using bitcoin to buy some hamburgers, which he then handed out.
He is clearly trying to win the vote of bitcoiners but he could learn a bit more about it by now.
Is Donald Trump playing the bitcoin pizza kind of game to mark a symbolic cheft in the direction of things, just as being the first US presidents to spend the lowest amount of bitcoin in paying for goods, this also symbolise how bitcoin could be use for even the smallest amount of transactions.I put it in quotation marks because he doesn't make it, it has to be made for him. Although it may have significant symbolism, a former US president and presidential candidate using bitcoin to buy some hamburgers, which he then handed out.

Also the ability to spend bitcoin totally free from all the centralised laws unless if the transaction is carried out from a centralised payment gateway such as excahges or payment gateway that offers financial services.
All right, good, i hope he will be making more purchases using BTC when or if he becomes the president of the U.S., he is clearly trying to win most of the votes of the crypto community in the U.S., and i think he has done so, in any case, this is good publicity for BTC. Next up, maybe Kamala should spend BTC on some doughnuts, and maybe she will try to go one better and do it herself.

Lol I thought he might have some sense of how to use a BTC wallet and how to make a transaction at least, but he is taking help from staff to do that make me wonder if he really mean the statements that he made for BTC development and overall for crypto development. He literally has no idea how things are working in the BTC network. I think we should ask him some questions like those who can should ask him some questions about BTC so we could at least know he has some knowledge of crypto and he is not just bluffing everything and doing everything by taking help and advice from others.

I know how things work with these dudes (political) because they can't learn to fire a gun, but as leaders, they will be making law for it, modifying it, standing for one law and standing against for another even if they have no experience of the thing in question. But still he is the first candidate so it makes a history that Bitcoiners will remember.
For a person who doesn't live in America, I don't pay much attention to the presidential election there, but I think it's the same with other countries. Candidates do stunt and gimmick to attract voter. And in this specific thing, I have a question, is it good or bad if the candidate use crypto for their campaign?
When crypto community getting political attention doesn't it mean that it's getting popular, and maybe we could expect some good policy from the candidate when they got elected, and this will lead to more market value and adoption?
Or will it just stop in their campaign? like nothing will change after they got elected, whey won't even talk about Bitcoin or crypto.

Staying neutral about the election will help you avoid unnecessary controversy, you are great. But I disagree when you say that having a pro-crypto presidential candidate won't make it more popular. If you are a celebrity, someone with a large fan base, you will see how much influence you have over them. Trump is not only a billionaire but also a former president and a candidate this year, so his influence will not be small. Don't underestimate a celebrity speaking out in favor of cryptocurrency.
But I agree with you that we still don't know what they will do after they are elected, whether they will keep their promises or will forget all the promises they made. Everything remains in question because the future is unpredictable . I don't know about you, but if I get a chance, even a small one, I'm ready to seize it and not let it go. So I support him and hope he will bring positive things to the crypto industry .
I guess phrase "Better late than never" applies in this case. While i agree that it's his attempt to get more votes, at least it lets general public know that Bitcoin can used to pay goods and services.
I guess he is on the right course especially when QueMala is doing everything to drive voters away from herself.
Oh no Trump is again trying to get the Bitcoiner votes omg why does he do that? OMg omg omg
Ha ha cry more you twats

It is hilarious. I watched the video, it's not Trump who made his first Bitcoin transaction, it's someone else who made it for him. You can understand by the look that Trump has no idea what's happening around him, he is just doing what his advisor suggested him to do and looks happy. You can tell that he, like Kamala Harris, is a puppet, managed by other people.I put it in quotation marks because he doesn't make it, it has to be made for him.

I like that he is putting some efforts into it. He got someone to tell him more about Bitcoin and how he can actually make use of technology in a day to day life.
In one of his rallies recent days, he said that his children, grandchildren shown him how to make a Bitcoin, cryptocurrency transaction. I believe that if he wanted to learn, he already learned about it with support from his family members.Trump is very old, and old people most of the times DO NOT understand new technology, and let alone that, Trump can't even hold an object properly without shaking anymore. So it makes sense that people have to help him out and show him how to do this or that.
I'm guessing the whole Bitcoin stunt was suggested by the PubKey bar staff though, not from Trump himself.

Trump can do the same and that Bitcoin transaction can be done by his own efforts or with help from other people but if he already witnessed how to make a Bitcoin transaction for purchasing a thing, that's good than don't do anything.
He chose right time to do it for getting more support from Americans when the Election day is not too far.
It is funny, but since he is a personality, some things are really just made ready for him, and go with it. Showing that he tried it is somewhat a win for crypto since it will be exposed and seen by people who might not be exposed to it. At least it's something. I always remember that he wasn't open to the cryptocurrency space before and have made some comments. It's never too late I guess.

With this, many boomers who were not aware of how Bitcoin is different than Gold, will be able to understand that you can use Bitcoin for quick payments as well. This might be funny for you all who are already using Bitcoin from ages but it's interesting for the older generation.
Trump didn't make any transaction with Bitcoin from the video I watched on FOX news. In fact he didn't look interested in it. He looked more interested in speaking to the "people at the other side" like he said after the dude in a face cap triumphantly announced that Trump was the first presidential candidate to make such transaction thereby making history. For the record I am indifferent to whoever wins. I'll leave that for the Americans to decide. Right now smart electorates will look at the policies of the presidential aspirants and make cast their votes on whichever one they feel appeals more to them.
Trump actually paid for the hamburger with bitcoin. But what I noticed in the video is that he did not really know how to make the transaction but get help to make the transaction. This is the videos: https://youtube.com/shorts/KgVmMrUvOYA?si=Jm9SYOPG6taDXa0S
Also I do not care about who wins, American vote will decide who wins.
He is clearly trying to win the vote of bitcoiners but he could learn a bit more about it by now.
Everything he or Harris does in their campaign has no other purpose than to win more votes. Why do we only target and criticize him?
Yes, he is doing this for more votes and those who are supporting him are doing it for their own benefit. Likewise, those who vote for Harris expect to benefit from her policies.
And as you said: he can also learn and gain a little more knowledge about bitcoin, which is actually beneficial for both him and bitcoin since it has caught the attention of a presidential candidate. Meanwhile, Harris continues to ignore everything about bitcoin and as a bitcoin investor that makes me even more worried if she wins.
Given what is going on, it is clear that Trump will bring more good than Harris when it comes to crypto.
I guess phrase "Better late than never" applies in this case. While i agree that it's his attempt to get more votes, at least it lets general public know that Bitcoin can used to pay goods and services.
"Trump using Bitcoin to buy hamburgers feels like a marketing stunt, right? While the symbolism is interesting, it's clear that he's trying to connect with Bitcoiners. But let's be real, it's not Trump who's doing the heavy lifting on the transaction. It makes for good headlines but maybe not the most authentic connection to the crypto community!"

Basically, Trump is the first US president to make a successful bitcoin payment, yet it'll be appalling if bitcoiners are forcing the whole process down his throat. From your response, the president may just be doing all this because he wants the community to vote for him. I'm 90% sure he wouldn't do all that when he climbs to the throne as president of America. For now, he's like any other investor showing out his excitement for bitcoin, could it be that the memory he's creating with bitcoiners would make impact to his behavior as a leader of America, we may not have been hearing him talk repeatedly about weapons and security in America.
Trump's Agenda is to make America great again, he rarely talks about bitcoin in his campaigns. The last time I watched him speak, it was all revolving around war, nuclear weapon, military, etc. However, should bitcoin be on his agenda, it's the least of what he's thinking about.
