Scottie Pippen's Mysterious Bitcoin Dreams
Six-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen has been sharing some extraordinary stories about Bitcoin, claiming that the cryptocurrency's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has been visiting him in his dreams since 1993. These dreams, he says, provide him with insights into the future price of Bitcoin.
Accurate Predictions
- September 2024 U.S. Election Prediction: Pippen predicted Bitcoin would reach $84,650 on the day of the U.S. election. Although it didn't hit that mark on the exact day, it did reach that price a couple of weeks later.
- December 2024 Prediction: He predicted Bitcoin would touch $81,000 before hitting $100,000 again, and that also came true.
New Targets Based on Dreams
Pippen has shared some new targets based on his dreams:
- Bitcoin: Could reach $233,000 by 2026
- Solana (SOL): Could hit $1,000
- XRP: Could reach $10
He emphasizes that these predictions are based on a "feel" rather than any calculations and is waiting for more "Satoshi dreams" before making any new forecasts for 2025.
Caution from Michael Saylor
Pippen's friend, Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has advised him to be careful about sharing these dream-based predictions. Saylor believes that Bitcoin enthusiasts are very protective of Satoshi's identity and that Pippen's statements might cause a stir.
Pippen's Crypto Journey
Pippen's journey into the crypto world began in 2022 with a digital sneaker NFT drop. He also launched The Ball Foundation, which is backed by a basketball he has held for 34 years. The foundation has a $2 million valuation and a supply of 1 billion tokens. Unlike many celebrities, Pippen's goal is to bring people into the crypto space rather than launch a "dodgy meme coin."
Meeting Pro-Crypto President Donald Trump
In a recent interview, Pippen expressed his hope to meet pro-crypto President Donald Trump before his term ends.
