米其林星级厨师 Sebastian Frank 现在在他的柏林餐厅 Horváth 接受比特币。以下是他如何进入比特币以及他的“解放蔬菜美食”的全部内容。

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·弗兰克（Sebastian Frank）是一位 42 岁的米其林星级厨师，也是新一代比特币人的典型代表。

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.

这位奥地利人从 14 岁起就开始做饭，后来因为爱情搬到了柏林。 2010 年，他成为 Horváth 餐厅的主厨，并于 2014 年与妻子接管了这家餐厅。这个名字非常合适，几乎太合适了。

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.

该餐厅以匈牙利作家奥登·冯·霍尔瓦特 (Ödön von Horváth) 的名字命名，他也曾居住在奥地利和德国，创作了几部宏伟的、永恒可读的作品后，在巴黎不幸被一根倒下的树枝砸死。 Horváth 餐厅代表着更精致的奥地利美食，塞巴斯蒂安逐渐加入了潘诺尼亚地区的影响，融合了奥地利和匈牙利风味。

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.

到目前为止，塞巴斯蒂安·弗兰克 (Sebastian Frank) 已获得两颗米其林星。他的餐厅的指导原则是“解放蔬菜美食”。作为首批米其林星级厨师之一，他开始主要烹饪素食菜肴。

"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.”

“这是因为地理位置的原因，”他笑着说，“但不是因为柏林有那么多生态人，而是因为这里很难买到新鲜、优质的肉类。不过，柏林却生长着大量优质蔬菜。”周边地区。”

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.

在解放蔬菜烹饪中，蔬菜与肉或鱼同等对待。萝卜与鱼子酱一样珍贵；芹菜像帕尔马干酪一样高贵。

"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.'"

“作为一名奥地利人，我还决定只使用奥地利常见的产品。例如，用南瓜籽油代替橄榄油，用李子代替芒果，等等。我称之为“通过审查的创造力”。 ”

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.

比特币最大化主义者可能会发现这个概念很熟悉：对单一加密货币（比特币）的限制以及对赌博、交易和投机的禁制可以培养创造力，激发深入的货币教育，并增强果断持有的决心。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."

“我卖掉了我的整个投资组合、所有山寨币、股票，然后完全投入比特币。”

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

主厨 Sebastian Frank 是在 2020 年中期才开始接触比特币的。

"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.

“这非常经典。由于新冠疫情，餐厅关门了，我开始投资股票，不假思索地在投资组合中添加了比特币头寸。”那时，他对此几乎一无所知。只有当价格大幅下跌并且他准备出售时，他才决定在抛弃比特币之前先了解一下比特币，然后就掉进了熟悉的兔子洞，从里面出来的东西不再是原来的样子。

"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.

“我一个接一个地听播客，渐渐地，它占据了我自己的生活。我找到了以前从未理解过的问题的答案。就像，过去如何一个人可以工作，两个人可以生活在一个房子；我和妻子过得很好，但我们必须努力工作才能维持我们的生活水平。”对比特币的深入研究帮助他更好地了解了货币体系。

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.

当然，现在出售是不可能的。相反，塞巴斯蒂安采取了果断的行动，他的钱包也跟着效仿：“我卖掉了我的整个投资组合，所有的山寨币、股票，完全投入了比特币。”现在，不是通过交易应用程序中的金融产品，而是直接使用真实的比特币，安全地存储在硬件钱包中。他定期购买；当价格下跌时，他并不担心，反而很高兴，因为价格太实惠了。

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.

最终，这个想法不仅是购买比特币，而且是赚取比特币。这将是最简单、最真实的方法。通过播客，他了解了支付服务提供商 Lipa，该公司在因斯布鲁克举行的 BTC2023 会议上为酒店业管理支付。

"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，并联系了活动组织者，让他在未来的会议上做饭，却得知它不会在 2024 年举行。

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，他将 Lipa 整合到了他的餐厅中，现在人们可以在链上或通过闪电网络使用比特币付款。现在，塞巴斯蒂安是世界上第一位接受比特币的二星级厨师。他的目标是将比特币保留在企业钱包中，并尝试在未来将比特币建立为主流，例如通过储蓄计划或员工奖金。

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