🔫💸 Circle Caves to Gun Lobby: USDC Now Buys Bullets, Not Just Bitcoins!

by

So, Circle Internet Group finally caved, huh? 🥴 Now you can buy guns with USDC. Great. Just what we needed-more ways to spend crypto on things that go boom. 🎉 All because the gun lobby threw a hissy fit. Classic.

Apparently, this whole thing is because of the GENIUS Act. 🤔 Genius, my foot. More like the “Let’s-Make-Stablecoins-Great-for-Gun-Nuts Act.” But hey, at least it’s bipartisan, right? 🙄

USDC: Now Officially Pro-Pew Pew 💥

Remember when Circle said, “No guns allowed”? Yeah, that lasted about as long as a Larry David marriage. 💍 The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) called it “financial discrimination.” Because, you know, not being able to buy assault rifles with crypto is just so unfair. 😢

So, Circle changed the rules to only ban gun sales that break the law. Groundbreaking. 🌟 Now they’re heroes for letting people buy Glocks with stablecoins. What a time to be alive.

The NSSF is over the moon. 🌙 They’re like, “We’ll trust you, but we’re watching.” Because nothing says trust like a threat. 😎 Meanwhile, Senator Cynthia Lummis is cheering from the sidelines, calling it a win for the Constitution. 🦅🇺🇸

After discussions w/ Circle, I’m glad they now allow legal firearm purchases using its stablecoin. By aligning its terms of service w/ existing legal requirements, Circle defends constitutional rights & ensures financial systems can’t be weaponized against law-abiding gun owners.

Because nothing screams “bipartisan” like guns and crypto. 🤝

All this is thanks to President Trump’s executive order, “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans.” 🏦✨ Because apparently, gun manufacturers were being so oppressed. Poor babies. 😭 Now banks have to stop “debanking” them. What’s next? A participation trophy for every ammo dealer?

Oh, and the GENIUS Act? It’s basically a green light for stablecoin issuers to do whatever they want. 🚦 Except now they have to play nice with gun folks. Progress?

So, here we are. Circle’s decision is a “paradigm shift.” Or just another day in America. 🍿

What’s Next? USDC for Ammo Subscriptions? 🎁

Now that USDC is in the gun game, other stablecoin issuers are probably sweating. 😓 Will they follow suit? And what about international compliance? Because, you know, not every country is cool with AR-15s being bought with crypto. 🌍

The NSSF is calling this a trend. 🎢 Financial firms are backing away from “ideological restrictions.” Aka, they’re too scared to say no to the gun lobby. 😬

So, here’s the takeaway: If you want to buy a gun with USDC, go nuts. 🥜 Just don’t shoot your foot off. Or your portfolio. 💹🔫
