The news was long awaited by many in the crypto community who had been speculating since March, when the chain initially asked followers whether or not it should accept Bitcoin.

自3月以来一直在猜测的加密社区中，许多人一直在等待这个消息，当时连锁店最初询问追随者是否应该接受比特币。

Dorsey Offers Public Endorsement

Dorsey提供公共认可

Former Twitter CEO and long-time Bitcoin supporter Jack Dorsey supplied a hearty “yes” when the company asked on social media several weeks ago. That one-word response fueled buzz and kept the debate alive. Since then, Steak ‘n Shake has encouraged Bitcoin-related promotion on its sites, such as Tesla giveaways and ambiguous, coded messages to generate interest.

前Twitter首席执行官兼长期比特币支持者杰克·多尔西（Jack Dorsey）在社交媒体上几周前在社交媒体上询问时，提供了一个丰盛的“是”。一个单词的回应引起了嗡嗡声，并使辩论保持了活力。从那时起，Steak'N Shake鼓励其网站上与比特币相关的促销活动，例如Tesla赠品和模棱两可的编码信息，以引起人们的兴趣。

Steak ‘n Shake becomes one of only a handful of national restaurant chains to go from testing the waters to fully committing. This is not a beta test. Beginning May 16, every customer who wishes to purchase burgers, fries, and shakes with Bitcoin will be able to do so in-restaurant at all US locations.

牛排'N Shake成为少数几个国家餐厅连锁店之一，从测试水到完全投入。这不是Beta测试。从5月16日开始，每个希望使用比特币购买汉堡，炸薯条和奶昔的客户都可以在所有美国地区的餐厅内做到这一点。

Over 100 Million Customers Can Use Bitcoin

超过1亿客户可以使用比特币

According to the company, more than 100 million customers nationwide will be able to use the new payment option. That’s a huge audience. Although other chains have dabbled in crypto, most have kept it to some locations or limited trials.

据该公司称，全国有超过1亿客户将能够使用新的付款方式。那是众多观众。尽管其他连锁店已经涉足加密货币，但大多数连锁店都将其保存到某些位置或有限的试验。

Chipotle began taking crypto payments as far back as 2022, via a service named Flexa, which accepts around 100 cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

Chipotle通过一项名为Flexa的服务开始就获得加密货币付款，该服务接受了大约100个加密货币，例如比特币，以太坊和Solana。

Subway tested crypto since 2013. McDonald’s has Bitcoin payment in Lugano, Switzerland. Pizza Hut and Burger King have tested and introduced limited promotions and trials, particularly in nations such as El Salvador, where Bitcoin is legal tender.

自2013年以来，地铁测试了加密货币。麦当劳在瑞士卢加诺（Lugano）进行了比特币付款。披萨小屋和汉堡王已经测试并引入了有限的促销和试验，尤其是在诸如比特币是法定招标的埃尔·萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）等国家。

The connection between Bitcoin and fastfood is nothing new. In 2010, a Florida man named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. Today, that would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The day he spent that money is now celebrated every year as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

比特币和快餐之间的连接并不是什么新鲜事。 2010年，一名名叫Laszlo Hanyecz的佛罗里达州男子为两个披萨支付了10,000 BTC。今天，这将价值数亿美元。他现在每年都会庆祝这笔钱的那一天是比特币披萨日。

Now, over a decade later, Steak ‘n Shake is giving that connection a modern “flavor”, letting customers pay for meals with the same kind of digital money.

现在，十年后，Steak'N Shake为该连接提供了现代的“风味”，让客户用相同的数字货币付费。

Payments Tech Keeps Pushing Ahead

付款技术不断前进

The Steak ‘n Shake announcement comes just as crypto payments are getting easier to use. In April, a company called Mesh launched an Apple Pay integration, which makes it possible for merchants to accept crypto through Apple Pay.

牛排'n摇声公告都会随着加密货币付款越来越容易使用。 4月，一家名为Mesh的公司推出了Apple Pay集成，这使商人可以通过Apple Pay接受加密货币。
