McRib & Bitcoin: Is It Magic? 🍔🚀

by

Now, they say somethin’s brewin’ down at McDonald’s. Not just the coffee, mind ya. The McRib’s back. That…that pink, formless thing. And folks are gettin’ to talkin’. Not about heartburn, neither. They’re talkin’ Bitcoin. đź’°

Seems some city fellers think this here McRib, comin’ and goin’ like the seasons, has a strange connection to when Bitcoin decides to jump. A real curious thing, it is. Like tryin’ to predict rain by watchin’ a dust devil. 🌪️

Bitcoin was pokin’ around $104,400, had a little try at $106,000, but it’s like a hound dog chasin’ a car – plenty of runnin’, not much catchin’ that $110,000 mark.

The McRib Returns and the Chatter Begins

It started with one of them accounts on X, the one called Bitcoin Archive. They laid it all out: Every time that McRib slinks back onto the menu, Bitcoin does a little dance. A good dance, mind you, with prices climbin’ like beans on a pole.🌱

They showed lists, dates, numbers all lined up like dominoes. Folks started arguin’ back and forth, shakin’ their heads like they’d seen a ghost. “McDonald’s McRib signals a MAJOR Bitcoin rally,” the account wrote. Sounded like somethin’ a carnival barker would yell.

McDonald’s McRib Signals MAJOR Bitcoin Rally

Every comeback has led to explosive BTC price action:

• 2017: Nov → BTC +1,000%

• 2020: Dec → BTC +200%

• 2021: Nov → BTC to $69K ATH

• 2024: Dec → BTC new ATH $126K

The McRib returns today.
Bitcoin to the moon? 🚀

Back in ’17, that McRib showed up on Nov. 2, and Bitcoin wasn’t worth much more than a decent used car ($6,745). By December, it was lookin’ at $19,666. That’s a climb, alright.

Then in ’20, the McRib poked its head in on Dec. 2, when Bitcoin was a mere $18,773. Fast forward to April ’22 and it was up to $64,895. A 245% jump. Seems that sandwich has a hidden magic to it. 🪄

In ’21, it reappeared at $61,000, and nine days later, it was flirtin’ with $69,000. A bit of a bump, a whole lot of excitement.

The legendary McRib returns 11/11 at most McDonald’s in the US.

It is our most-mentioned limited-time product online, higher than other evergreen items, particularly on X.

Funnily enough and entirely independent of McDonald’s involvement, the McRib has recently found new…

Folk’s Tryin’ To Make Sense Of It

There was this feller, Zack Voell, a crypto man, who noticed this same thing last year. He said, “Here’s a look back at how Bitcoin has reacted to news that McDonald’s McRib is back on the menu. They just announced it again last week. And you’re bearish?” Sounds like he’s holdin’ all the aces.

He even drew a chart, lines and squiggles showin’ Bitcoin’s price and when that McRib decided to grace us with its presence. Folks were lookin’ at it like it was the Dead Sea Scrolls.

But not everybody’s buyin’ it. Some say it’s all just folks seein’ patterns where there ain’t none. Like lookin’ at clouds and seein’ dragons. They reckon it’s more about how people feel, how they’re thinkin’ when they invest, rather than some kinda sandwich-fueled prophecy.

See, people got a habit of makin’ up stories to explain why things happen. And some just call the whole thing a meme that got outta hand. In some years, Bitcoin went down when the McRib came back! Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

They say the McRib’s return just happens to fall around the time folks get optimistic about things at the end of the year. Just a coincidence, they claim, don’t go buildin’ your fortune on it!

Analysts also point a finger at how we tend to remember the times it worked and forget about the times it didn’t. Selective memory, they call it.

Still, it shows how these crypto folks love a good story. They treat the McRib’s comeback like a sign. A silly little sign, maybe, but a sign nonetheless that says, “Things might just get better.” Markets ain’t just about numbers, they’re about feeling, about hope…and maybe, just maybe, about a strangely influential, pork-based sandwich.
