Selling Donald Trump Burgers for Bitcoin - Thomas Pacchia of PubKey (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

<p><em>"This is something that could be really beneficial to all Americans, American businesses and America on a geopolitical stage. And I think that this was a real warning shot to everybody in Washington that they should pay attention to this, because Bitcoiners are certainly paying attention."</em></p> <p>On this <strong>Bitcoin Talk</strong> episode of <em>THE Bitcoin Podcast</em>, <strong>Walker</strong> talks with <strong>Thomas Pacchia.</strong> Thomas is a Bitcoin entrepreneur who you may know as the founder and the co-owner of Pubkey, a Bitcoin bar in New York City, where President Donald Trump paid for burgers with Bitcoin. Thomas tells the whole story of how Trump ended up in his bar paying in bitcoin, but we also get into the changing bitcoin culture, media and political perspectives around Bitcoin, PubKey as a community hub and Third Place for Bitcoiners, the logistics of running a bitcoin business, the ridiculous New York Bitlicense and the issues it causes, and a whole lot more.</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW THOMAS:</strong></p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/tpacchia">https://x.com/tpacchia</a></p> <p>Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/p/npub1xy6exlg37pw84cpyj05c2pdgv86hr25cxn0g7aa8g8a6v97mhduqeuhgpl">https://primal.net/p/npub1xy6exlg37pw84cpyj05c2pdgv86hr25cxn0g7aa8g8a6v97mhduqeuhgpl</a></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW PUBKEY:</strong></p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/PubKey">https://x.com/PubKey</a></p> <p>Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/pubkey">https://primal.net/pubkey</a></p> <p>FOLLOW WALKER ON NOSTR: <a href="https://primal.net/walker">https://primal.net/walker</a></p> <p>FOLLOW THE Bitcoin Podcast on Nostr: <a href="https://primal.net/titcoin">https://primal.net/titcoin</a></p> <p>*****</p> <p><strong>THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners -- use promo code WALKER for…</strong></p> <p><strong>></strong> <a href="http://bitbox.swiss/walker"><strong>bitbox.swiss/walker</strong></a> <strong>-- 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet.</strong></p> <p><strong>> BUY BITCOIN WITH RIVER:</strong> <a href="http://partner.river.com/walker"><strong>http://partner.river.com/walker</strong></a></p> <p>*****</p> <p><em>If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:</em></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW ME (Walker)</strong> on <a href="https://twitter.com/WalkerAmerica">Twitter Personal (@WalkerAmerica)</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/TitcoinPodcast">Twitter Podcast (@TitcoinPodcast)</a> | <a href="https://primal.net/walker">Nostr Personal (walker)</a> | <a href="https://primal.net/p/npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8">Nostr Podcast (Titcoin)</a></p> <p>Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on <a href="https://www.fountain.fm/show/68gcLZFDRxOzgGeZmXq6">Fountain</a> | <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bitcoin-podcast/id1694392423">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@walkerAmerica">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0f4Ke6gRTiLij0455nQjPH">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://bitcoinpodcast.net/podcast"><strong>EVERYWHERE ELSE</strong></a></p>
