We need a full and complete shutdown on Scottie Pippen in the Bitcoin space until we figure out what’s going on.

He met Satoshi in 1993?

What’s the point of saying this?

What’s his angle and scam here?

Attention, and you are giving it to him. This isn't the first time people will say they know who satoshi is without any evidence. Some people are that deluded that they think that people would just believe them, or at least suspect. Because problem with stupidity is that if someone is stupid enough, they lack the very tools to understand that they are stupid. So they will think they have skills to manipulate people. At some point people like this would want to use that "knowledge" to give interviews and hope that people take them more seriously.

But as no one believes them (like they shouldn't), this will be nothing but another rando yelling to clouds.

Probably another grift, but I'm just posting this to see you guys' opinion about it.

Another one...
Now that we have ex NBA star saying this I guess they have to record another revolutionary documentary and have many press conferences with paid invitations Roll Eyes

I don't know if Scottie Pippen got broke and filled for bankruptcy or someone lied to him when introduced as Satoshi, but this sounds like another bs story from 1993 while he played .
Saying you meet someone in 1993 called Satoshi while you played in Chicago Bulls sounds crazy to me, even if Pippen is bitcoiner now.

Never heard of this guy before until now.

I have never heard about him before, just like you, I heard about him right now and I wanna admit that clickbait worked. Now I, you and many people know who is Scottie Pippen and I am absolutely confident that people make such a bold claims to gain the attention of media and promote themselves.

Nice guess, there is a high chance that dude will do what you said.

First of all, Scottie Pippen is a legend. It is crazy there are people here who don't know who he is. The guy was Michael Jordan's sidekick for 6 championships.

Most of us aren't from the USA and we mostly watch football (soccer for Americans). By the way, thanks for some nice facts. I definitely know Michael Jordan but haven't heard about Pippen, didn't know if he was that good.

I can make the same claim. Craig Wright made a similar claim. (He didn’t say he met satoshi though, he said he is him) Making claims is free of charge. Every is free to make one. I don’t understand why this claim hit the news. To attract clicks probably. Since people never get tired of falling for clickbaits, clickbaiters will keep baitin us with clicks. Baitin. It is a very sick addiction. I would rather play dice games.

Another Joseph maybe?

Here's another one where he claimed Satoshi revealed Bitcoin price to him. Although the article is about two months old, it still tells us a thing or two about the guy and I'm not surprised that this sorta thing is happening. He's an ex professional basketball player and when you no longer ball, you'd have to find a way to remain relevant in the social space so aside from him delving into NFTs that didn't favor him and switching to creating his own meme coin that still didn't have promise, I think the next best thing was to use to popular phrase "I've met Satoshi". Only, this one sounds a little delulu when he stated he was told the price at which Bitcoin would be on Nov 5, by Satoshi himself in a dream.

And I think the guy is going fail again because he's not going to last with this his new ideas of meeting Satoshi and being told the price of Bitcoin, we have seen a lot of people who wake up from as keep to claim that they met Satoshi or they are Satoshi but once they are not given attention they will end up not speaking up again. Imagine some one who has met Satoshi coming out to make himself available to the public when he's supposed to maintain privacy like Satoshi himself, I believe the guy is looking for a way to create something that he would use to scam people in the name of knowing Satoshi looking out for his next move should be our consideration now.

What do you expect from a guy who have lost fam and trying all possible means to gain attention, just as many others have attached themselves to satoshi and bitcoin as long as the success of bitcoin remains, anyone can claim anything and that has nothing to do with the fact that bitcoin remains a decentralized currency and has no need for any third party involvement not even satoshi himself.

So let the guy be, he has his flowers to impress and as long as he is not adding any relevance to the Bitcoin ecosystem he can be being who the hell he is.

There is nothing that could support their claim and all of us could make up those kind of stories, nothing special just another one who wants attention.

It possible he met with Satoshi some years ago either in primary school or they live in the same society in their childhood before Satoshi later became who he is or who they are today,but it will not convince or change people to believe him because many people have came up with different lies to tell people that they are Satoshi the BTC founder. My observation, is that the man is trying to make some Bitcoiners around him to know that he have influence in the pumping and dumping of BTC price just to convince some of them that lack the knowledge of BTC because it will be hard for him to convince people that have the knowledge of BTC in the industry.

It's possible, but "it's possible" is not the point. The point is even if he met Satoshi in 1993, or if Satoshi "went in his dreams", merely saying something like that is making him look like he's psychologically unstable.

Chad Saylor's reaction was priceless. He already knew something was wrong.

If I see any message like this on social media or this forum, what will come into my mind, the person is a scammer trying to scam people because claiming to met Satoshi will not make people to believe whatever you are going to advertise or showcase to them without genuine proof.

So, there's more to this story of Scottie Pippen. He has tweeted some good prediction that did happened although on the exact date but with the price that he has mentioned. Now, he has met Satoshi in 1993? only him can tell the truth, maybe true, maybe for the sake of attention.

I don’t actually know him but I agree, it’s only him who can very his words. Because for me, I don’t care if he meant his words or not. So what if he had met and known Satoshi? That was already a long time ago, and it won’t never create a huge impact to bitcoin community these days. All I am sure of is that, Satoshi has its valid reason why he chose to stay anonymous until now. And it’s clearly benefiting us right now.

It's typically more for the clout. He's a known legend in basketball and a champion and that's why he can say whatever he wants to say.
Welp, for the last part of what you've said. Satoshi chose that because he/she/they knows what's about to come when the identity is revealed.
We can be positive here and just think of it that it's much better of what Pippen said than of CSW.

Eventually, we would come to know and agree that every now and then, someone is going to poop out of the blue and have some claim to have discovered or met or actually is Satoshi Nakamoto. It’s a name that has come to make whom ever makes any claims relating to it famous for a little while and then they are back again to the hole where they came from. The good news is, Bitcoiners have learnt to better ignore these persons each time they rise up, not to give them too much attention so, they don’t feel that sense of importance and eventually, die out real fast.

However, it is also well known that Scottie Pippen was horribly underpaid. Possibly one of the worst superstar contracts of all time and he nearly won an MVP while Jordan was playing baseball. Jerry Krause was the GM for the Bulls and all the players hated him. Michael Jordan was the only one who got paid and even that took a while. Had Jerry Krause not been unwilling to give Scottie a decent contract, we wouldn't be seeing him shill his reputation and championship ball to try and get some BTC. Jerry Krause is also the guy responsible for breaking up the Bulls after their second 3-peat. Jordan wanted to go for 4.

myth busting:

a. bitcoin wasnt made until genesis block 2009, nor mentioned/theorised(whitepaper) until 2008.. so saying he met some dude 15 years earlier has no proof/relevance that it was satoshi he met.

b. someone coming up with a novel monetary system and wanted to remain anonymous would not use a name after the millenium that they have been publicly telling people for 15 years prior

c. if the basketball dude had a 15 year ongoing relationship to realise someone he met in 1993 then created bitcoin, he would have said 'ive known xyz since 1993 before he told me he invented zyx'.. he would not just say it as if he met someone once and that was it (the demeanour of what he says)

Do you think scottie was smart enough to met satoshi back then in 1993? Probably I'll say pippen is a weak guy whose wife left him and started dating Jordan's son, also refused the invitation by Kim jong Un from north korea while he had opportunity to visit there but later on rodman went N.K. I've seen twice, thrice post of him on Twitter claiming that satoshi came in his dream and told him that blah blah blah about bitcoin future, i don't remember but yeah he gave the actual date that bitcoin will reach ath or something (whatever happened/'ll/s that is only an imposter prophecy for the audience) and probably those dreams are day dreamed after a one cocaine snort.

I would set aside the personal matters and won't describe him as weak just because of that. I never knew him personally but only in the TVs during his ball career.
But with these tweets, it could just be a bait for him to gain more relevance because we're in a bull run. A man like him transitions into a celebrity and would things to remain relevant.

Even if he has made some good predictions in the past about the price of bitcoin, that does not still prove that what he is postulating is true. I can't even for one day agree to those words; there are people who could have come up with such lies, and it will be a bit convincing.

So let's assume he actually knew who Satoshi is and they were friends. What happened over these years? Why did it take him so long to come up with such a crap story? Well, I can't find any suitable answer other than to say that he's just seeking attention, which he's probably getting because he's now trending online with such a statement.

That's just a story that only him knows the real details, himself can only tell such stories and it's up to the readers whether they'll believe him or not, to his truth or to his lies.

Who were the cryptographers/computer scientists during 1993 in Seattle? Because let's pretend that it was true, that Scottie Pippen actually met Satoshi during that year. The best computer scientists in that region of the United States were probably working in Microsoft in Redmond, or teaching Computer Science in schools like the University Of Washington? Satoshi programmed the first implementation of Bitcoin in Windows which makes it a curious choice.

In my opinion anyone may be right saying they met Satoshi Nakamoto, but may not actually know him as a brain behind bitcoin. because he or they chose to remain anonymous. Over the years most people have came up with some speculation that they knew who Satoshi is. some even claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but all appears to be false, only to attract attention and recognition.

I mean for him to say he met Satoshi in 1993 just brings attention to the fact that Satoshi wasn't even Satoshi in 1993 and therefore discredits this guy's claims and makes him look like he doesn't know what he's talking about, at least that's what I gather from this. Does anyone else feel this way? Surely there are folks that know Satoshi and who he is but they probably don't also know that he is the creator of Bitcoin. And if its a group surely people would know them individually but never that they were in part or fully Satoshi. Satoshi wouldn't be that stupid. Why go through great lengths to keep your identity a secret only to have your real identity known & potential to be a wild card that could compromise you in the future. Unless someone organically figured it out, I feel like Satoshi just wouldn't be taking those type of risks. One of my favorite quotes by Ben Franklin. "Three can keep a secret if the other two are dead". I also do wonder if Satoshi has any skeletons in his closet to keep his identity a secret, its a possibility.

He doesn't know how to distinguish someone.

Maybe He means Hal Finney because Hal created CRASH at that year. and Scottie unintentionally met him and they talked about it.

Now imagine you are the worker at the CIA/NSA who decided, one day, to create Bitcoin as a honeypot project.

What do you mean as a "honeypot project"? A honeypot is usually when you design an environment that is used by hackers, for their operator to study and analyze their behavior. For example, Cloudflare could be a honeypot, because it is extensively presented in every page nowadays, and could collaborate with the government to provide valuable information from cyber attacks.

A honeypot can be anything that attracts the entities that the CIA wants to attract so they can monitor them in some way.

Quote

I don't see how this analogy would apply to a decentralized currency that comes with privacy features, if desired. If it was created by the NSA, wouldn't they disable things like SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY, that allow privacy techniques like coinjoin to be implemented?

Bitcoin was originally conceived as a public ledger, so that right there makes it pretty easy to track by authorities. Yes, you can use things to thwart that tracking, but a) that wasn't really invented until later, so maybe "Satoshi" didn't think of that when they first created it; b) the act of using tradecraft alone is often all the CIA needs to get the information they need.

To be clear here, my theory very much depends on the actor(s) in question not thinking everything through, and creating something they did not exactly intend to create.

It's just a theory, but I think it's the best one so far.
