  • NBA legend Scottie Pippen predicts a Bitcoin bull run after a dream about Satoshi Nakamoto.  

  • Pippen’s claim links the anticipated price surge to Binance founder CZ's recent release from prison.  

  • October is historically a bullish month in cryptocurrency, known as "Uptober" among traders.

NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen has once again made headlines in the cryptocurrency world after sharing a bold prediction regarding Bitcoin.

In a recent tweet, the former Chicago Bulls star claimed that Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive creator of Bitcoin, visited him in a dream. According to Pippen, the message was clear: "Bitcoin bull run starts Monday."

Pippen's tweet revealed that Nakamoto appeared in his dream holding a basketball and kept the message brief.

The key reason behind the predicted Bitcoin surge, Pippen claims, is the recent release of Binance founder and former CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), from prison. Pippen stated that Nakamoto indicated, "CZ is free," before encouraging him to return to basketball practice.

This is not the first time Pippen has made such claims. Earlier in September, he had a similar revelation, predicting that Bitcoin would reach $84,650 by November 5 after another dream featuring Nakamoto. 

His latest tweet sparked both amusement and curiosity within the cryptocurrency community. Many commenters speculated about whether the tweet was actually posted by Pippen or a social media team managing his account.

Changpeng Zhao’s release from prison has fueled speculation about a potential market shift. Zhao served a four-month sentence for violating U.S. securities laws and facilitating money laundering through Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. 

His return has sparked optimism in the crypto space, with many expecting a rally. CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Yu noted on social media that even a simple "I'm back" tweet from CZ could send the market soaring.

As the cryptocurrency market approaches October, a month historically seen as bullish by traders, many are preparing for what could be a significant movement in Bitcoin’s value. October, often dubbed “Uptober,” is known for positive price trends, adding further anticipation to Pippen’s prediction.
