可以用比特幣支付的米其林星級餐廳

主廚兼老闆塞巴斯蒂安·弗蘭克 (Sebastian Frank) 討論了他如何決定這樣做，以及他的“解放蔬菜美食”意味著什麼。

Michelin-starred chef Sebastian Frank is now accepting Bitcoin at his Berlin restaurant Horváth. Here's how he got into Bitcoin and what his "emancipated vegetable cuisine" is all about.

米其林星級廚師 Sebastian Frank 現在在他的柏林餐廳 Horváth 接受比特幣。以下是他如何進入比特幣以及他的“解放蔬菜美食”的全部內容。

Sebastian Frank is a 42-year-old Michelin-starred chef and a typical representative of a new generation of Bitcoiners.

塞巴斯蒂安·弗蘭克（Sebastian Frank）是一位 42 歲的米其林星級廚師，也是新一代比特幣人的典型代表。

The Austrian has been cooking since he was 14 years old and moved to Berlin for love. There, in 2010, he became the head chef at the restaurant Horváth, which he and his wife took over in 2014. The name fits well, almost too well.

這位奧地利人從 14 歲起就開始做飯，後來因為愛情搬到了柏林。 2010 年，他成為 Horváth 餐廳的主廚，並於 2014 年與妻子接管了這家餐廳。

The restaurant is named after the Hungarian writer Ödön von Horváth, who also lived in Austria and Germany and after a few magnificent, eternally readable works was tragically killed in Paris by a falling tree branch. The Horváth restaurant stood for a more refined Austrian cuisine, to which Sebastian gradually added influences from the Pannonian region, a mix of Austrian and Hungarian flavors.

該餐廳以匈牙利作家奧登·馮·霍爾瓦特(Ödön von Horváth) 的名字命名，他也曾居住在奧地利和德國，創作了幾部宏偉的、永恆可讀的作品後，在巴黎不幸被一根倒下的樹枝砸死。 Horváth 餐廳代表著更精緻的奧地利美食，塞巴斯蒂安逐漸加入了潘諾尼亞地區的影響，融合了奧地利和匈牙利風味。

By now, Sebastian Frank has earned two Michelin stars. The guiding principle of his restaurant is the "emancipated vegetable cuisine." As one of the first Michelin-starred chefs ever, he began cooking mainly vegetarian dishes.

到目前為止，塞巴斯蒂安·弗蘭克 (Sebastian Frank) 已獲得兩顆米其林星。他的餐廳的指導原則是「解放蔬菜美食」。作為首批米其林星級廚師之一，他開始主要烹飪素食菜餚。

"It was because of the location," he laughs, "But not because there are so many ecological people living in Berlin, but because it is difficult to get fresh, high-quality meat here. However, there's plenty of quality vegetables growing in the surrounding area.”

「這是因為地理位置的原因，」他笑著說，「但不是因為柏林有那麼多生態人，而是因為這裡很難買到新鮮、優質的肉類。不過，柏林卻生長著大量優質蔬菜。

In the emancipated vegetable cuisine, vegetables are treated equally to meat or fish. A radish is as valuable as caviar; celery as noble as Parmesan.

在解放蔬菜烹調中，蔬菜與肉或魚類同等對待。蘿蔔與魚子醬一樣珍貴；芹菜像帕瑪森起司一樣高貴。

"As an Austrian, I also decided to work only with products that are common in Austria. So, for instance, pumpkin seed oil instead of olive oil, plums instead of mangos, and so on. I call it 'creativity through censorship.'"

「作為奧地利人，我還決定只使用奧地利常見的產品。例如，用南瓜籽油代替橄欖油，用李子代替芒果，等等。我稱之為“通過審查的創造力”。 ”

Bitcoin maximalists might find this concept familiar: The restriction to a single cryptocurrency—Bitcoin—and the abstinence from gambling, trading, and speculation foster creativity, inspire deep monetary education, and strengthen the resolve to hold decisively. Not getting side-tracked is often the first step to effectiveness.

比特幣最大化主義者可能會發現這個概念很熟悉：對單一加密貨幣（比特幣）的限制以及對賭博、交易和投機的禁制可以培養創造力，激發深入的貨幣教育，並增強果斷持有的決心。不走岔路往往是提高效率的第一步。

"I sold my entire portfolio, all altcoins, stocks, and went completely into Bitcoin."

“我賣掉了我的整個投資組合、所有山寨幣、股票，然後完全投入比特幣。”

Chef Sebastian Frank came to Bitcoin only in mid-2020.

主廚 Sebastian Frank 是在 2020 年中期才開始接觸比特幣的。

"It was quite classic. Due to COVID, the restaurant was closed, and I started investing in stocks and, without much thought, also added a Bitcoin position to the portfolio." At that time, he knew hardly anything about it. Only when the price dropped significantly and he was about to sell, he decided to learn about Bitcoin before ditching the coins—and then fell into the familiar rabbit hole, from which one doesn't emerge the same.

“這非常經典。由於新冠疫情，餐廳關門了，我開始投資股票，不假思索地在投資組合中添加了比特幣頭寸。”那時，他對此幾乎一無所知。只有當價格大幅下跌並且他準備出售時，他才決定在拋棄比特幣之前先了解一下比特幣，然後就掉進了熟悉的兔子洞，從裡面出來的東西不再是原來的樣子。

"I listened to podcasts, one after another, and gradually, it gripped my own life. I found answers to questions I had never understood before. Like, how it used to be possible for one person to work, and both could live in a house; my wife and I are doing well, but we have to work very hard for our standard of living." Delving into Bitcoin helped him understand the monetary system better.

「我一個接一個地聽播客，漸漸地，它佔據了我自己的生活。我找到了以前從未理解過的問題的答案。就像，過去如何一個人可以工作，兩個人可以住在一個房子；我和妻子過得很好，但我們必須努力工作才能維持我們的生活水平。對比特幣的深入研究幫助他更了解了貨幣體系。

Selling was now, of course, out of the question. On the contrary, Sebastian took decisive action, and his wallet followed suit: "I sold my entire portfolio, all altcoins, stocks, and went completely into Bitcoin." Now, not through financial products in a trading app but directly with real Bitcoins, securely stored in a hardware wallet. He buys regularly; when the price falls, he doesn't worry but rejoices because it's so affordable.

當然，現在出售是不可能的。相反，塞巴斯蒂安採取了果斷的行動，他的錢包也跟著效仿：“我賣掉了我的整個投資組合，所有的山寨幣、股票，完全投入了比特幣。”現在，不是透過交易應用程式中的金融產品，而是直接使用真實的比特幣，安全地儲存在硬體錢包中。他定期購買；當價格下跌時，他並不擔心，反而很高興，因為價格太便宜了。

Eventually, the idea arose to not only buy Bitcoins but to earn them. That would be the simplest and most authentic approach. Through a podcast, he learned about the payment service provider Lipa, which managed payments for the hospitality industry at the BTC2023 in Innsbruck.

最終，這個想法不僅是購買比特幣，而且是賺取比特幣。這將是最簡單、最真實的方法。透過播客，他了解了支付服務提供者 Lipa，該公司在因斯布魯克舉行的 BTC2023 會議上為酒店業管理支付。

"I can do that too," thought Sebastian and contacted the event organizers to cook at the conference in the future, only to learn that it wouldn't take place in 2024.

「我也能做到，」塞巴斯蒂安想，並聯繫了活動組織者，讓他在未來的會議上做飯，但得知它不會在 2024 年舉行。

However, he integrated Lipa into his restaurant, where one can now pay with Bitcoin either on-chain or via Lightning. Now, Sebastian is the world's first 2-star chef to accept Bitcoins. His goal is to keep the coins in a business wallet and try to establish Bitcoin in the mainstream in the future, for example, through savings plans or bonuses for employees.

然而，他將 Lipa 整合到了他的餐廳中，現在人們可以在鏈上或透過閃電網路使用比特幣付款。現在，塞巴斯蒂安是世界上第一位接受比特幣的二星級廚師。他的目標是將比特幣保留在企業錢包中，並嘗試在未來將比特幣建立為主流，例如透過儲蓄計劃或員工獎金。

So, if you're in Berlin and feel like having an excellent and not entirely inexpensive meal—or want to
