Threadguy's Bold Take: Crypto Streamers Set to Outshine LeBron if Bitcoin Hits 600K

In the fast-paced world of crypto, where fortunes can flip faster than a meme token's chart, one voice is making waves with a prediction that's got everyone talking. @notthreadguy, a part-time streamer building @counterpartytv and involved with projects like @monad and @phantom, dropped a thread on X that's equal parts bold and insightful. He argues that crypto and finance streamers are on the cusp of becoming the biggest names in content creation—bigger than mainstream stars like LeBron James if Bitcoin surges to those lofty 600K targets everyone's buzzing about.

Let's break it down. Threadguy kicks off by quoting a post about Hasan Piker's chat not making money on a big day, then pivots to why crypto streamers stand out: they actually help viewers make money. Unlike other niches, tuning into the right crypto stream can turn insights into profits. He clarifies that not all streams are gold—stuff like "memescope" (a term for scoping out meme coins live) might be hit-or-miss—but interviewing money-makers and sharing strategies? That's where the real value lies.

He peppers in some "i know what i hold" memes, nodding to the conviction crypto holders have in their bags. But the meat of the thread is his vision for the future. Threadguy points out that crypto folks are just waking up to the power of streaming and content. With internet money being so new and appealing, he sees it becoming the dominant niche. "Position accordingly and good luck," he says.

The standout line? "1 threadguy viewer has the networth of 100 kai cenat viewers. my 250 average on twitch is actually 25,000." Here, he's comparing his audience—likely savvy crypto traders—to that of popular streamer Kai Cenat. It's a cheeky way to highlight the wealth concentration in crypto communities. He doubles down: if Bitcoin hits even close to bullish predictions, top influencers like Ansem could eclipse icons like LeBron.

Threadguy admits he's been wrong on crypto calls before but stands firm on this: the blend of finance, social media, and content is unstoppable. Why hasn't it exploded yet? Most crypto OGs are anonymous, camera-shy types. But now, with younger, bolder creators entering the scene—and infrastructure finally catching up—the stars are aligning.

He shouts out the "memescope fortnite kids" (young streamers diving into meme coins with gaming energy) for bringing fresh blood to crypto. And he contrasts entertaining, high-energy streams—like watching someone trade 14 coins a minute—with stuffy, suit-and-tie talks pushing ads.

Replies add flavor. @natealexnft shares an old tweet predicting web3 influencers replacing web2 celebs, claiming he was early. @NowMiri recalls Threadguy's past prediction leading to Ansem meeting Kanye. Others debate the takes, like @zaitradesX calling the LeBron comparison wild.

For meme token enthusiasts, this thread is a goldmine. Meme coins thrive on hype, community, and influencer endorsements. As streaming blows up, expect more live launches, trades, and breakdowns of tokens like DOGE or newer pups. It's a reminder: in blockchain, education and entertainment merge, and those who tune in could level up their game.
