Just another one of those who use the name of Bitcoin creator to gain attention.
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.
Topic: Some dude claims to have met Satoshi in 1993. (Read 503 times)
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.

"I met Satoshi", buy my Pippencoin?
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.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.
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.
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)
seems the basketball dude is trying(and failing) to raise his crypto reputation... let me guess he is going to release some ordinal tokens soon for a high preset price, due to 'fame'

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.

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.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.

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.
Heh, it would put Scotties knickers in a very tight twist to know he's being referred to as 'some dude'.. 
Love it! 
Love 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.

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.

Tbh, I'm no longer intrigued by all these claims of people about being related to or have been in contact with Satoshi in the past only now that Bitcoin is a global movement. Anybody that says such now is simply chasing clout and garner as much attention to themselves which doesn't make any sense when you come to think about it. If he met Satoshi in 1993, how does that story benefit the average bitcoin holder? It doesn't
We all have no idea if he’s telling the truth or not. But even if it’s true, still no one will care. If his purpose of telling it now, especially to the bitcoiners is to lure us in the future like what he did to his old fans before, then he is not in the position to do that or let’s say, claiming about Satoshi is never new to us. Unless if the real Satoshi comes out and defend your claim, which I think is far from possible, we will believe on what this dude is saying.
Just think of the motives why he is claiming this, whether true or not. If you have no other intentions, you will just be grateful that you have met such person. And if you truly believe his ideas, you can take advantage of this market.
Many people have claimed of such, and yet, up until now, Satoshi himself doesn't want to reveal himself. So let's respect this decision and be contented for what we have. After all, we are already reaping the benefits of his invention in this humanity. Also, there's no benefit of this claim, what it would do to the community now? Or can it elevate the btc price level in the market? I don't think so.

Saw this earlier today. He's famous former-NBA player apparently. Have you seen Saylor's reaction? https://x.com/TheBTCTherapist/status/1857870178090103038
I have also seen some people in the comments saying that he actually rugpulled his fans. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously if that's the case;

Saylor was like WTF and then turned away from him and heard that Satoshi came to him in a dream and Saylor had to take another look at this dreamer. It was double WTF in 10 seconds.
Please... If someone said to me he met Satoshi, I'd want more information. Then he'd say in 93... How do you even know the guy you met in 93 was Satoshi? I bet that in 93 the guy wasn't even planning on using that nickname on this forum.
-hi Scottie, my name is Satoshi, I love how you play, let's be friends. By the way, I'm planning to write a code for a digital currency in about 8 years.
There have been so many claims from people who say they have met, befriended or known Satoshi. Basically, none of this has any authentic evidence, it's just stories that may be true or false. But the point is, even if those were true, there would be no impact on Bitcoin, because i believe Bitcoin will belong to everyone, and it seems that will become increasingly clear in the future.
