The Forbes curse never misses its timing.

The Forbes curse never misses its timing.
Every time Forbes crowns a Bitcoin king, the market peaks — and pain usually follows shortly after.
There’s something almost poetic about it. Each major bull market top in $BTC seems to line up perfectly with a glossy Forbes cover. Big smile. Bold headline. A freshly crowned “Bitcoin king.” Champagne vibes. 📸✨
And then? Gravity. Hard, merciless gravity.
It happened in 2017. Again in 2021. Same movie, different actors. When Bitcoin hits mainstream magazines, it’s no longer early — it’s late. Retail is euphoric, journalists finally “get it,” and smart money is quietly edging toward the exit.
From my chair under the southern sun, watching the sea shimmer, this pattern always gives me chills. Markets don’t top on fear. They top on celebration. Forbes covers are not indicators of innovation — they’re indicators of saturation. Point final.
So when I see another crowned king on glossy paper, I don’t feel bullish. I feel cautious. In crypto, the loudest applause often marks the final act. T’inquiète… but keep one eye on the door. 🌅☕️
