Six-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen is again hogging the headlines, this time for being very bullish on Bitcoin. On Wednesday, the Chicago Bulls star Pippen took to his more-than-674,400 X (previously Twitter) followers and said: \u201cBullish on Bitcoin\u201d<\/a> with the hashtag #BeLikeSatoshi.<\/p>\n

Since then, this has become a hot topic of discussion among his supporters within the cryptocurrency sphere.<\/p>\n

Pippen\u2019s Bitcoin Dream And Price Predictions<\/h2>\n

What is even more interesting in Pippen\u2019s statements are the fact that he related them to Satoshi Nakamoto<\/a>, the pseudonymous founder of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

In the earlier tweet, Pippen seemed to have claimed that in one dream, Satoshi projected the price of Bitcoin would touch $84,650 on November 5, 2024.<\/p>\n

Bullish on BITCOIN. #BeLikeSatoshi<\/a><\/p>\n

This has been received with mixed reactions by fans on the network, as some are excited with the prospect while others have doubted whether such prognosis \u2013 based on a dream<\/a> \u2013 will come true.<\/p>\n

Many people in the community agreed with Pippen, especially since Bitcoin\u2019s price is now hovering around $57,070 after a recent 4.5% rise. After two months, the idea that Bitcoin\u2019s price will drop at this point is being looked at more closely to see what could cause it to go up.<\/p>\n

Some analysts believe that factors like US Federal Reserve\u2019s planned interest rate cuts could still lead to rising Bitcoin prices.<\/p>\n\n

Crypto Community\u2019s Reaction<\/h2>\n

However, most of the reactions regarding Pippen\u2019s tweet<\/a> were in support. Crypto exchange Kraken\u2019s official account even posted a light-hearted remark: \u201cBulls will always be bulls, right Scottie?\u201d<\/p>\n

A response like this from more prominent platforms makes Pippen\u2019s bull stance even more worth it. Users on X began to ask him his thoughts about different altcoins and proved that indeed his influence went way beyond just Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Satoshi Nakamoto visited me in my dream last night and predicted that #Bitcoin<\/a> would be at $84,650 on November 5, 2024. Not financial advice.<\/p>\n

This excitement was further hyped when Pippen made a teasing remark at fellow Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor. Recently, Saylor appeared in an interview with CNBC, wherein he went as far as to predict that Bitcoin could swell to $13 million per coin within the next 21 years.<\/p>\n

Pippen responded to this lofty prediction from Saylor by playfully asking whether the latter was told that by Satoshi in a dream. That light exchange showed how public figures are increasingly playing along with the cryptocurrency narrative\u2013a mix of humor and serious investment discussions.<\/p>\n

The Bigger Picture<\/p>\n

Celebrities are becoming increasingly interested in cryptocurrencies like Pippen. As more celebrities promote Bitcoin, their followers also become interested in digital currencies. The potential for Bitcoin to become a mainstream asset is growing, especially with the upcoming US presidential elections, where candidates like Donald Trump have shown a pro-crypto stance.<\/p>\n
