This is just when there's tech news on Bitcoin. If you want to get ready for bubbles just keep an eye on google trends "how to buy bitcoin". Worked for me, admittedly only once though.

When I overhear random people on the train, my coworkers during coffee break etc. discuss bitcoin, I know that the bubble is about to burst. This predictor has never failed.

It's an age-old tell

Thanks for posting this. I think this sums things up pretty well.

Funny. Beside looking at Google Trends, this trigger was the same for me,

The 16 year old brother of a friend of mine suddenly wanted to buy Ethereum but didn't know what it was. A month before that he wanted to get rich with binary option websites.

I sold him the amount he wanted (30 eur worth at around 380USD/ETH) and then sold all of my ETH.
