Scottie Pippen Predicts 175x Altcoin Surge Post Bitcoin Halving

Former NBA player Scottie Pippen, who has shown a keen interest in cryptocurrency, recently took to his X account to urge his followers to increase their awareness of Bitcoin. In a brief tweet, Pippen simply stated, “Study Bitcoin,” addressing his 724,800 followers. The response from his followers was a mix of enthusiasm and a touch of sarcasm.

Pippen has gained attention in the cryptocurrency community for his previous tweets, including a series from last year where he claimed that in a dream, he was visited by the enigmatic Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. According to Pippen, Nakamoto shared some insights about Bitcoin and its potential rally with him.

In addition to his call for increased Bitcoin awareness, Pippen also shared his prediction for the altcoin market. At the end of last week, he posted on his X page that he expected the biggest altcoin bull run to begin on April 20. His reasoning was based on historical data showing that altcoins typically start to rally approximately 340 days after a Bitcoin halving. The previous halving event occurred on April 20, 2024, when block rewards were reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Pippen shared a historical chart illustrating altcoin rallies that began in 2017 and 2021 following halvings. He predicted that this upcoming rally would be even more significant, potentially leading to a 175x price surge for altcoins.

Another prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space, Robert Kiyosaki, who is known for his advocacy of financial literacy and his best-selling book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” also made significant Bitcoin price predictions. Kiyosaki forecasted that by 2035, Bitcoin could skyrocket above the $1,000,000 mark, gold could surpass $30,000, and silver could reach $3,000 per coin. He also warned about the potential economic challenges facing the U.S., including rising national debt, credit card debt, and unemployment, which he believes could lead to a “GREATER DEPRESSION.” Kiyosaki reiterated his prediction of “the biggest stock market crash in history” and highlighted the impact of inflation on pension funds.

For the current year, Kiyosaki expects Bitcoin to reach at least $180,000, with the potential to rise even higher to $200,000. These predictions underscore the growing interest and optimism within the cryptocurrency community, with influential figures like Pippen and Kiyosaki playing significant roles in shaping public perception and investment strategies.
