Former President Donald Trump made history Wednesday, becoming the first US president to ever use Bitcoin to complete a transaction.

前总统唐纳德·特朗普周三创造了历史，成为第一位使用比特币完成交易的美国总统。

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 岁的特朗普在长岛竞选集会之前，使用加密货币为 PubKey 的顾客购买汉堡和啤酒。PubKey 是一家位于曼哈顿的酒吧兼餐厅，因接受比特币而闻名。

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

“我刚刚用比特币进行了第一笔交易，”这位前总统在加密货币爱好者的欢呼声中宣称。

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

特朗普在一名 PubKey 员工的帮助下，似乎使用了酒吧的手机和平板电脑完成了交易。

He said the payment was “very easy.”

他说付款“非常容易”。

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

当特朗普结账时，一位酒吧顾客欢呼道：“让比特币再次伟大。”

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

Pubkey 在社交媒体帖子中称这一时刻为“#bitcoin 历史上最具历史意义的交易之一”。

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.

过去五年，比特币的价格上涨了 500% 以上。 1 比特币的当前价格为 61,248.50 美元。

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.

特朗普在比特币酒吧拍照的同一周，他在 World Liberty Financial 揭幕仪式上谈到了加密货币，这是一家由商人 Steve Witkoff 和前总统的儿子小唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump Jr.) 和埃里克·特朗普 (Eric Trump) 创立的新加密货币企业。

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.

这位共和党总统候选人在宣传世界自由金融的 X Spaces 活动中解释说，他的儿子们，包括 18 岁的巴伦·特朗普，鼓励他拥抱加密货币。

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

“他谈论他的钱包——他有四个钱包什么的，”特朗普谈到巴伦时说道。

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

“我说，‘钱包是什么？向我解释一下。”

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，特朗普承诺，如果他当选第二个白宫任期，将使美国成为“地球的加密货币之都和世界的比特币超级大国”。

“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.

他在纳什维尔举行的 2024 年比特币会议上表示：“如果比特币要登上月球——正如我们所说的那样——它就会登上月球，我希望美国成为引领潮流的国家。”

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.

特朗普还承诺结束他所说的拜登总统和卡玛拉·哈里斯副总统的“加密货币战争”，并解雇正在领导数字货币监管打击行动的美国证券交易委员会主席加里·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.”

特朗普竞选团队于 5 月份开始接受加密货币捐款，同月，前总统宣布自己是“加密货币候选人”。
