Pippin's encryption multiple choice questions
American basketball star Scottie Pippen, widely regarded as one of the greatest small forwards in history, has recently attracted the attention of the cryptocurrency community on social media. Pippin posted on the X platform, asking his followers whether they should choose Ethereum or Solana. The issue immediately sparked heated discussion, with Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz stating that both cryptocurrencies have their merits. Other users have recommended their favorite currencies to PiPeng.
This is not the first time Pippen has shown interest in cryptocurrencies. In fact, he has collaborated with the Web3 company Orange Comet to launch the NFT series "Scottie Pippen SP33". The collection sold out in less than two minutes, prompting him to post how proud he was of it. It is worth noting that this broke the seven-minute sell-out record set by the NFT series "The Eternal" launched by the famous actor Anthony Hopkins.

do you know? Basketball God Jordan also issued NFT!
In addition to his basketball achievements and reputation for not tipping at restaurants, Pippen is also known for his feud with former Chicago Bulls teammate Michael Jordan. Pippen drew widespread attention last year when he called Jordan a "terrible player" on a podcast.
Jordan himself is also involved in the cryptocurrency industry. In 2021, he launched HEIR, a Web3 fan engagement platform based on Solana. In 2022, HEIR launched its first NFT series, "6 Rings," inspired by the six NBA championships Jordan won with the Bulls in the 1990s.

Dogecoin founder calls for choosing $DOGE
After Pippin raised this question, Billy Markus, co-founder of Dogecoin ($DOGE), responded quickly and recommended Pippin to choose Dogecoin. Although Dogecoin started out as a memecoin, it has grown into a cultural phenomenon, has a strong community and has maintained some relevance over the years.

Pippin's move is seen as a trend as more celebrities get involved in the cryptocurrency industry. Over the past few months, a number of high-profile figures, including musicians like Iggy Azalea and Offset, have publicly endorsed cryptocurrencies. Iggy even launched his own token, $MOTHER, which at one point had a market capitalization of $200 million.
While it’s unclear whether Pippen will take Marcus’s advice and interact with $DOGE, as more celebrities become involved in cryptocurrencies, their influence could significantly impact public interest and market dynamics.
Celebrity support for cryptocurrencies is not just a one-time event, but a trend that continues to grow. This shows that digital currencies are becoming increasingly popular among a wider audience. However, this trend could also mean that the market rally we've seen over the past year may be coming to an end.
