Donald Trump made another overture to the digital-asset community on Wednesday, treating supporters to burgers at a bar in New York and paying with Bitcoin.

After being greeted by boos and yells of “loser” as he arrived at PubKey, a Bitcoin-themed watering hole near New York University in Greenwich Village, the former president was met with heavy applause from a mixture of self-identified Bitcoin enthusiasts and Trump supporters when he entered the dimly lit bar.
