However, it is still unclear what numbers Pippen was talking about in his post. Wilt Chamberlain holds the record of single-game scoring as back in 1962, he had secured a century under his name. This particular achievement of the seven-time NBA champion is still one of the biggest records of all time. No basketball athlete has surpassed him as of now.
Bryant holds the record for scoring 81 points in 2006 against the Raptors and created a storm in the NBA world. From Pippen’s reference, it could be understood that maybe he is indicating towards the Bitcoin value in the near future.

Scottie Pippen Makes Big Claims About Bitcoin

One of the biggest supporters of Cryptocurrency, Scottie Pippen spoke about meeting the anonymous developer of Bitcoin, Satoshi in his dream. He even revealed that the Crypto whale had claimed that the value of Bitcoin would be at $84,650 in November 2024.
The Chicago Bulls alum’s dream came true as the value of Bitcoin skyrocketed to $90,000 per coin after Donald Trump came into power in 2024. During an appearance on Money Making by the famous media outlet Fox Business, Pippen was asked if he bought Bitcoins after his dream, he said-
“No, I didn’t. I didn’t buy any more. But I felt like I had made a pretty good prediction.”
While talking about his dream, Pippen further added-
“[Satoshi] didn’t explain it to me then [in 1993.] If so, I would have been a lot farther ahead of the game. And like most people, I sort of got out of the gate late. I started really learning about Bitcoin last year. I think it was around $33,000 or so per coin. And so I really started to study the whole world and to try and get a little bit more educated about it,”
Bitcoin came back to the spotlight as soon as Donald Trump was re-elected for the second term as the US President. The popular cryptocurrency not only came on the first page of the world map again but also a prominent fluctuation in its valuation brought back the good old days for the Bitcoin holders across the globe.
