One of the legends of the NBA world, Scottie Pippen, has returned to his recently published X post about Satoshi Nakamoto giving him a bullish Bitcoin price prediction…in his dream. Back then, this posting triggered a vast reaction from the cryptocurrency community, which was a mix of negative and enthusiastic comments.
Now, Pippen has extended that to Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor and the ultra-bullish BTC price forecast he made on CNBC yesterday.
Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin talk on CNBC
On Monday, co-founder of MicroStrategy and its executive chairman Michael Saylor paid a visit to CNBC’s Squawk Box show where the hosts and he discussed the recent Bitcoin moves in the market, the recent spot Bitcoin ETFs massive outflows, and MicroStrategy’s success over rivals.
Michael Saylor bragged about MicroStrategy’s stock price staging a massive increase of more than 800% since August 2020 thanks to raising funds from investors via convertible notes for buying Bitcoin. This way, they invest in BTC indirectly, in a way similar to ETFs.
Saylor pointed out that currently, MicroStrategy has outperformed every single company within the S&P 500 index.
Michael Saylor predicts $13 million per Bitcoin, Pippen adds “Satoshi comment”
Eventually, Saylor was asked how much of the money from the gold market he expected to flow into Bitcoin. The MicroStrategy chairman said he believes that if now Bitcoin market capitalization comprises 0.1% of the global capital now and he expects BTC to absorb 7% of it in the near future.
Saylor predicted that in 21 years, Bitcoin price will reach a mind-boggling $13 million per coin. Here’s when Scottie Pippen stepped in with his comment. Referring to his previous tweet, he asked Saylor if he also received that “knowledge” of Bitcoin hitting $13 million also came in his dream from Satoshi Nakamoto.
Did Satoshi visit you in your dream too Michael? @saylor lol 🚀 #Bitcoin to $13 million https://t.co/pEpe1xY1Nh

As for Pippen, Satoshi “told” him “in his dream” that Bitcoin would hit $84,650 on November 5 – that would be, perhaps, a new all-time high for the world’s flagship cryptocurrency. It is not known whether the NBA legend holds any Bitcoin but as for MicroStrategy, it has by now accumulated $8.3 billion worth of BTC. Judging by his “lol” in the tweet, that was meant to be an ironic comment of disbelief.
Bitcoin is now changing hands at $57,070 after printing a 4.5% surge.
