Bullish Bitcoin Post by US Basketball Star Excites Crypto Community
Six-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen is again making news for his Bitcoin optimism. Pippen wrote: “Bullish on Bitcoin” with the hashtag #BeLikeSatoshi on Wednesday to his over 674,400 X (formerly Twitter) followers.
Pippen’s Bitcoin Dream and Forecast
The fact that Pippen linked his claims to Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto makes them much more intriguing.
Pippen seems to have tweeted that Satoshi dreamed Bitcoin will reach $84,650 on November 5, 2024.
This has divided network fans, with some thrilled and others doubting that the dream-based forecast would come true.
Pippen was supported by the community, particularly as Bitcoin's price rose 4.5% to $57,070. After two months, Bitcoin's price may decline, but what may drive it to rise is being examined.
Analysts think the US Federal Reserve's projected interest rate reduction might boost Bitcoin prices.
Most responses to Pippen's tweet were positive. Kraken's official account joked, “Bulls will always be bulls, right Scottie?”
A reaction like this from major platforms validates Pippen's bullishness. Users on X started asking him about cryptocurrencies, proving his reach expanded beyond Bitcoin.
This enthusiasm was fueled when Pippen teased Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor. In a CNBC interview, Saylor predicted that Bitcoin may reach $13 million per coin in 21 years.
Pippen playedfully asked Saylor whether Satoshi given her this high prognosis in a dream. That playful interaction illustrated how prominent personalities are mixing comedy and serious financial talks with the Bitcoin story.
Pippen is among the celebrities interested in cryptocurrency. As celebrities endorse Bitcoin, their fans get interested in cryptocurrencies. In the approaching US presidential elections, pro-crypto politicians like Donald Trump might make Bitcoin a popular asset.
