✋Howdy, howdy crypto folks! Welcome to yet another fun-filled weekend! Wait! You thought we chilled at the newsroom? Umm, no we didn’t, but we did certainly have a lot of fun watching Mr Trump! 🎺

Who would have thought that the former U.S. President, in a bizarre and unexpected twist, would mark his territory with burgers? 😋 Hmm, we already established that the Trump family loves Bitcoins, but who thought he would buy burgers with them? 

And while paying with crypto might seem like a step toward the future, let’s just say the former President’s crypto adventure has been… interesting.🤣

Hmm, you wanna know the whereabouts, eh?

Sure, it all started with a visit to a local pub, where Trump, after handing out burgers, proudly branded as “crypto burgers,” completed the purchase using Bitcoin. 🤑

“History in the making,” he declared (as if his appearance wasn’t enough) clearly relishing the moment as much as the burgers. And for good measure, he threw in free Diet Cokes for the crowd. Move over Happy Meals—crypto burgers are here, and they’re apparently fizzier.🍾

However, it seemed that it wasn’t Trump alone who appeared excited! The pub owners also followed suit, proudly announcing that this was the first transaction by a U.S. President on the Bitcoin protocol.

Lol, as if we didn’t know!

How Liberating is World Liberty Finacial?

Trump’s foray into the world of digital currency doesn’t stop at burgers, there’s World Liberty Financial too! 😑That one is Trump’s new crypto venture, which aims to be a one-stop shop for decentralized finance (DeFi). During a much-hyped X Spaces livestream, Trump unveiled the platform, where users can borrow, lend, and invest in crypto, all while contemplating why they’re watching a two-hour livestream of Trump’s sons talking about tokens.😧

He was quite clear on his vision though: “We’re going to make our country greater than ever before, and you’re going to love your crypto,” he proclaimed. 

But, frankly, Trump wasn’t spared of hate, or as some like to call it “Waste of time!”😅

We are talking of entrepreneurs like Wayne Vaughan, who called the livestream a “wasted opportunity,” as listeners dropped from 150,000 to 47,000 faster than a meme coin during a market crash. 💸

Well, it seems despite the uncertainty, Trump is pressing forward, claiming, “Crypto is one of those things we have to do. Whether we like it or not, we have to do it.” But who knows what this new venture will (or will not) bring out! 

While we are at the next desk, we are sure wonderful fellas like you will keep a close tab! If for nothing else, to see what Trump calls his next big crypto innovation. What do you think he’ll leverage on next? Blockchain steaks?😋
