Some dude claims to have met Satoshi in 1993.

[Natalim]

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.

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'

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.

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.

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.

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.

"I met Satoshi", buy my Pippencoin?

[GideonGono]

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.

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

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?

Never heard of this guy before until 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.

[GiftedMAN]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 
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.

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.
