Donald Trump stopped at a local bar before heading to New York for a campaign rally and became the first US president to conduct a transaction using Bitcoin.

PubKey Bar owner Thomas Pacchia described his meeting with the former president as "surreal" and told "The Bottom Line" that he was still "processing" Trump's cryptocurrency transactions on Thursday.

Thomas Pachia said:"This is really cool, this is a Bitcoin transaction. I mean, this is incredible, we are still processing this transaction. He is very kind and generous! He made an effort to make sure he met everyone, bought them burgers, and the transaction was successful. Who wouldn't like that??"

The bar owner said that it was obvious that the former president was very tired when he left, and praised Trump's physical strength and endurance as "impressive."

It's no secret that Trump has been supporting the cryptocurrency community during his campaign.

Trump said during his stop at PubKey:“All you crypto enthusiasts, I call them ‘crypto enthusiasts’ because they really are, they believe in (crypto). Get out and vote because if you vote, we can’t lose, we want all of the people who agree with what you’re doing, and there’s a lot of people, they treat you very badly at the SEC. We’re going to treat you very fairly. You’ve got to get out and vote.”

Thomas Pachia told co-hosts Sean Duffy and Dagen McDowell that Trump’s visit “is about meeting with the bitcoin community, hearing from them, thanking them and recognizing them.”

Despite the Republican presidential candidate’s enthusiasm for the platform, Thomas Pachia went on to mention that Bitcoin is a “protocol” and is “apolitical” in nature. He explained: “This is about self-sovereignty. This is about financial freedom. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents all care about this issue,” and he has heard that people see cryptocurrency as a “single” voter issue. Thomas Pachia emphasized that “the continuation of the current administration’s policies is not good for Bitcoin businesses in the United States, and we hope they will change.”

Pacija also said: "After President Trump was elected, his Bitcoin policy and cryptocurrency policy had clear guidelines. We haven't gotten much information from the Harris camp yet, and we are still waiting for some details of the reset of encryption policy."

Kenny Polcari, chief market strategist at SlateStone Wealth, was a guest on "The Big Money Show" to discuss the economic policies of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris before the presidential debate. Kenny Polcari said Trump will promote cryptocurrencies "very aggressively," "more aggressively" than Harris.

Galaxy Digital CEO Michael Novogratz discussed the presidential candidates' views on cryptocurrencies in an interview with The election of Trump as president will usher in a "bullish environment" for crypto assets.
