About us 
Basketball icon Scottie Pippen, renowned for his six championship titles with the Chicago Bulls, has ignited a cryptocurrency debate that has gripped his millions of followers. Turning to his social media platform X, Pippen posed a provocative question: “ETH vs. XRP… Who’s changing the game in 2025?”
The unexpected inquiry from Pippen has raised eyebrows across the crypto community, with many speculating about his sudden interest in digital assets. While Pippen’s exact reasons remain unclear, his past involvement in the NFT boom of 2022 and his eccentric Bitcoin price predictions earlier this year suggest a deepening engagement with the blockchain world.
Notably, Pippen’s prediction that Bitcoin would hit $84,000 by early November—purportedly inspired by a dream involving Bitcoin’s enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto—turned out to be startlingly accurate. This uncanny foresight has only amplified interest in Pippen’s recent musings on the potential of Ethereum and XRP.
CZ and Michael Saylor Sound the Bitcoin Alarm
In a separate development, former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) issued a stern warning about Bitcoin’s limited supply. Posting on X, CZ highlighted that 19.8 million Bitcoins have already been mined out of the 21 million cap, a finite supply governed by mathematical precision.
“Controlled by math,” CZ concluded, emphasizing Bitcoin’s edge over fiat currencies, which are susceptible to central bank manipulation.
Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy and an ardent Bitcoin advocate, echoed CZ’s sentiments with a foreboding comment: “Running (out of) #Bitcoin.” Saylor’s statement aligns with his company’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy. Just this Monday, MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 21,550 BTC for $2.1 billion, bringing its total holdings to a staggering 423,650 Bitcoins, now valued at over $41 billion.
Whale Buys 144.5 Billion SHIB in a Single Hour
Meanwhile, Shiba Inu (SHIB) made waves after a crypto whale executed a jaw-dropping transaction. According to a report by the Spotonchain X account, the investor acquired nearly 150 billion SHIB tokens in just one hour.
This high-stakes transaction, valued at $12.8 million in DAI stablecoins, also included the purchase of several hundred billion PEPE tokens and half a million NEIRO tokens. The whale's activity was spread across nine digital wallets, leaving them with $7 million in remaining funds, suggesting further purchases may be forthcoming.
Earlier this year, the same whale had sold 533.6 billion SHIB for a profit of $8.24 million, showcasing their knack for capitalizing on Shiba Inu’s market movements.
