NBA champion Tristan Thompson on Tuesday said he shorted HYPE at $61 and exited with a profit, while telling teammates to buy Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) every single day.

Why Thompson Is Buying Bitcoin Daily?

Thompson appeared on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast, saying he owns Bitcoin not because he expects the dollar to collapse but because he expects the internet to keep winning.

He said Bitcoin has appreciated over 60% annually on average across the past 14 years and challenged anyone to find a savings account that matches that.

He said teammates have been calling him during the current market asking whether to buy, and his answer is always the same.
