U.Today - Scottie Pippen, a legendary basketball player, has reacted to the current crypto market drawdown, urging the community not to miss the current opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin at a discount.
Taking to social media, he published a post about Bitcoin, using sports jargon for success.
"Start scoring. Bitcoin"
Scottie Pippen shared a meme depicting two doors in a store. There is a long, disappearing queue waiting to buy Bitcoin at $109,000 at one door, and at the other door - where BTC is going for $80,000 - no one.This meme is frequently used, albeit with different prices, to illustrate the idea that the majority of buyers prefer to wait until Bitcoin skyrockets to a new high and then frantically start buying out of fear of missing out rather than when the BTC price drops, giving a perfect opportunity for accumulation, which often remains missed.
“You don’t wait until the fourth quarter to start scoring. Bitcoin,” Pippen tweeted.
This reflects the sharp Bitcoin price decline as it lost more than 8% over the past 24 hours and plunged from $86,625 to the $79,050 level. By now, the world’s primary cryptocurrency has managed to pare its losses a little and is back at $80,600.
Since Monday, Bitcoin has suffered a mind-blowing decline of roughly 16%, crashing from $95,600 to the price mark where BTC is changing hands now.
Pippen "talks to Satoshi" in his dreams
Over the past months, Scottie Pippen became famous on social media, not only thanks to his impressive achievements as a basketball player but also as a Bitcoin enthusiast.Several times, Pippen tweeted that Satoshi “talked to him in his dream,” sharing with him various Bitcoin price predictions (which, however, were not quite accurate). Pippen has also been mentioning Satoshi’s name in his X posts frequently.
