Scottie Pippen’s Crypto Revelation: XRP, DOGE, ADA, and the Altcoin Phenomenon!

by

TL;DR

  • Altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and others have recently outperformed Bitcoin (BTC), sparking talk of the elusive altseason making its grand entrance.
  • None other than NBA legend Scottie Pippen, once thought to be a staunch Bitcoin maximalist, has tossed his hat into the altcoin ring, backing several digital assets.

Hyped for the Altcoins

Ah, Bitcoin. The mighty beast that has soared to extraordinary heights, touching $105,000 in the blink of an eye, as though it was a simple game of basketball. It’s up 25% in the past month alone! But—hold your horses—altcoins have been on fire, even outshining the mighty Bitcoin in terms of growth.

Ethereum (ETH), for instance, has jumped a staggering 40% in just one week. Dogecoin (DOGE), along with other meme coins, has seen a similar meteoric rise. It seems that altcoins have taken the spotlight, and the crypto community can’t help but whisper in excitement: is the long-awaited altseason finally upon us?

Enter Scottie Pippen. Yes, the same Scottie Pippen who once stood tall on the court as a Chicago Bulls legend, now making waves in the crypto world. He asked his 720,000 followers on X which projects they’re most bullish on, and guess what? His list includes Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Mog Coin (MOG), and others. Quite the eclectic mix, wouldn’t you say?

But here’s the kicker: Some crypto enthusiasts, who once pegged Pippen as a Bitcoin die-hard, were taken aback by his sudden love affair with altcoins. Surprise, surprise, Scottie! What’s next—Pippen endorsing NFTs?

The Dream That Almost Was

Let’s rewind a bit to September 2024, when Scottie Pippen made an utterly bizarre yet captivating prediction involving none other than the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Apparently, Pippen had a *dream*—yes, a dream—in which Nakamoto predicted Bitcoin would hit $84,650 by November 5 of the same year. At the time, Bitcoin was languishing around $57,000, and such a surge seemed, well, delusional.

But then, fate stepped in. November 5, the day of Trump’s election victory, marked the beginning of a Bitcoin rally that saw the cryptocurrency surge past Pippen’s $84,650 target—imagine that! By January, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of nearly $110,000, fulfilling Pippen’s dream and earning him some *respect* from the crypto community. Who knew the guy had such prophetic dreams?

Fast forward to New Year’s Eve, when Pippen made another audacious prediction: Bitcoin could hit $1 million per coin. A lofty goal, certainly, but Pippen now stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the most bullish advocates of Bitcoin, including Arthur Hayes, Robert Kiyosaki, Cathie Wood, Michael Saylor, and CZ. In the world of crypto, Scottie Pippen is now a true believer. Who would’ve thought?
