Scottie Pippen Urges Bitcoin Accumulation Amid Market Dip

Scottie Pippen, the basketball legend, has reacted to the recent downturn in the crypto market, encouraging the community to seize the opportunity to acquire Bitcoin at a discounted price.

Taking to social media, he shared a post about Bitcoin using sports terminology for success.

“Start Scoring. Bitcoin”

Pippen shared a meme illustrating two store doors: one with a long line of customers waiting to buy Bitcoin at $109,000, and another door where BTC is available at $80,000 with no one in line. This meme, although featuring different prices, conveys that many buyers wait for Bitcoin’s price to skyrocket before investing, missing out on opportunities when prices drop.

“You don’t wait until the fourth quarter to start scoring. Bitcoin,” Pippen tweeted.

This comes amid a significant decline in Bitcoin’s price, which dropped over 8% in just 24 hours, falling from $86,625 to around $79,050. Currently, Bitcoin has recovered slightly, trading at $80,600. Since Monday, Bitcoin has experienced a decline of roughly 16%, crashing from $95,600.

Pippen Dreaming of Satoshi

In recent months, Pippen has gained social media fame not only for his basketball accomplishments but also for his enthusiasm about Bitcoin. He has tweeted about Satoshi, claiming that Satoshi has communicated with him in dreams, sharing various (though inaccurate) Bitcoin price predictions and frequently mentioning Satoshi in his posts.
