前總統唐納德·川普週三創造了歷史，成為第一位使用比特幣完成交易的美國總統。

Trump, 78, used the cryptocurrency to pay for burgers and beers he bought for patrons of PubKey, a Manhattan bar and restaurant famous for accepting Bitcoin, ahead of a Long Island campaign rally.

78 歲的川普在長島競選集會之前，使用加密貨幣為 PubKey 的顧客購買漢堡和啤酒。

“I just made the first transaction in Bitcoin,” the ex-prez declared to roars of approval from the crypto loving crowd.

「我剛剛用比特幣進行了第一筆交易，」這位前總統在加密貨幣愛好者的歡呼聲中宣稱。

Trump, aided by a PubKey employee, appeared to use a cellphone and a tablet belonging to the bar to complete the transaction.

川普在一名 PubKey 員工的幫助下，似乎使用了酒吧的手機和平板電腦完成了交易。

He said the payment was “very easy.”

“Make Bitcoin great again,” a bar patron cheered as Trump settled up his tab.

Pubkey called the moment “one of the most historic transactions in #bitcoin history,” in a social media post.

The price of Bitcoin has increased by more than 500% over the last five years. The current price for 1 Bitcoin is $61,248.50.

Trump's photo-op at the Bitcoin bar comes the same week he talked up cryptocurrencies during the unveiling of World Liberty Financial, a new crypto venture founded by businessmen Steve Witkoff and the former president’s sons, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump.

川普在比特幣酒吧拍照的同一周，他在World Liberty Financial 揭幕儀式上談到了加密貨幣，這是一家由商人Steve Witkoff 和前總統的兒子小唐納德·川普(Donald Trump Jr.) 和由 Eric Trump 創立的新加密貨幣企業。

The Republican nominee for president explained during the X Spaces event touting World Liberty Financial that his sons, including 18-year-old Barron Trump, encouraged him to embrace cryptocurrencies.

這位共和黨總統候選人在宣傳世界自由金融的 X Spaces 活動中解釋說，他的兒子們，包括 18 歲的巴倫·川普，鼓勵他擁抱加密貨幣。

“He talks about his wallet — He’s got four wallets or something,” Trump said of Barron.

「他談論他的錢包——他有四個錢包之類的，」川普談到巴倫時說道。

“And I'm saying, ‘What is a wallet? Explain this to me.’”

「我說，『錢包是什麼？向我解釋一下。

In July, Trump pledged to make the US “the crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world” if he's elected to a second White House term.

今年 7 月，川普承諾，如果他當選第二個白宮任期，將使美國成為「地球的加密貨幣之都和世界的比特幣超級大國」。

“If Bitcoin is going to the Moon — as we say — it's going to the Moon, I want America to be the nation that leads the way,” he told the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville.

他在納許維爾舉行的 2024 年比特幣會議上表示：“如果比特幣要登上月球——正如我們所說的那樣——它就會登上月球，我希望美國成為引領潮流的國家。”

Trump also promised to end what he called President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ “war on crypto” — and to fire Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler, who's leading a regulatory crackdown on digital currency.

川普還承諾結束他所說的拜登總統和卡瑪拉·哈里斯副總統的“加密貨幣戰爭”，並解僱正在領導數位貨幣監管打擊行動的美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)。

The Trump campaign began accepting donations in crypto in May, the same month the former president declared himself to be a “crypto candidate.”

川普競選團隊於 5 月開始接受加密貨幣捐款，同月，前總統宣布自己是「加密貨幣候選人」。
