Saylor Responds to Pippen on Bitcoin and Satoshi
Scottie Pippen posted a somewhat self-promotional and partially sarcastic tweet to the rapidly growing crypto community, stating: “There was Satoshi Nakamoto and then there’s Scottie Pippen.” The Bitcoin community had mixed reactions to this. Trader Bob Lucas commented, “Who’s that 18-year-old kid feeding you this nonsense?” Kraken’s official account responded with, “Bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out.” Michael Saylor also chimed in, urging Pippen to buy Bitcoin in the name of Satoshi: “Satoshi would tell you to buy #Bitcoin, Scottie.”
Criticism from X Users
Average X users heavily criticized the former basketball star for comparing himself to Satoshi Nakamoto. On July 24th, Pippen posted a provocative tweet: “Bitcoin or Ethereum?” followed by a promise to reveal a “game-changing decentralized project” within 24 hours.
Bullish News Expected for Bitcoin
As reported earlier, Samson Mow tweeted today that he anticipates extremely bullish news for Bitcoin in the coming days. He advised the global Bitcoin community to forget about the possibility of Bitcoin’s price dropping below $70,000 again. Mow calculates Bitcoin’s price in millions, hence he wrote “0.07 million dollars” instead of $70,000.
