NBA legend Scottie Pippen: I dreamed of Satoshi Nakamoto and said BTC would reach $84,650 in November, but I did not increase my holdings

NBA legend Scottie Pippen posted on X platform in September this year, saying that he dreamed of Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto and predicted that Bitcoin would reach 846.5 million US dollars on "November 5, 2024". Pippen's dream has now come true, as Bitcoin has broken through $99,000 this month under the push of Trump. In a recent interview with Fox Business, Pippen was asked if he would buy more BTC after waking up from his dream, and Pippen replied: "No, I didn't buy again, but I think my prediction is quite accurate. Like most people, I started a bit late, and it wasn't until last year that I really started to understand Bitcoin. I think the price of each Bitcoin was about $33,000 at the time. So I really started to study the whole world and try to understand it more. Everyone is trying to understand the true meaning of blockchain and how to participate in it. You must be prepared to do research and understand it, but sometimes the market can be very unstable."

  • Latest Progress on DeFi United Ecological Rescue Initiative: Over 100,000 ETH Raised at Designated Donation Address

    On April 26, the DeFi United ecological rescue initiative, led by Aave, continues to advance. The Arbitrum DAO has released 30,765 ETH that was frozen after the rsETH incident on April 18. Currently, the designated donation address has raised a total of 100,360 ETH to address the collateral asset gap caused by the rsETH incident. The plan aims to restore the backing assets of rsETH through multi-party collaboration, stabilize the market, and prevent the spread of bad debts across protocols.

Key contributors or participants currently include: Arbitrum DAO releasing 30,765 ETH frozen after the rsETH incident, Mantle proposing to contribute 30,000 ETH, Aave DAO proposing to contribute 25,000 ETH, Aave founder Stani Kulechov confirming a contribution of 5,000 ETH, EtherFi proposing to provide 5,000 ETH, Lido proposing to provide 2,500 stETH, and the Golem Foundation and related projects contributing a total of 1,000 ETH, among others.
