Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
The host of CNBCâs Mad Money show â Jim Cramer â said cryptocurrency investors still have time to sell their âawfulâ positions.
His previous advice has often been inaccurate, prompting numerous participants to anticipate a market surge after the latest comments.
Cramerâs on the Spotlight Again
During his most recent show, Mad Moneyâs host urged investors to cash out their cryptocurrency at all costs. He thinks âitâs never too lateâ to exit the market, hinting the crypto winter is nowhere near its end:
âYou canât just beat yourself up and say, âhey, itâs too late to sell.â The truth is, itâs never too late to sell an awful position, and thatâs what you have if you own these so-called digital assets.â
Cramer believes the most speculative cryptocurrencies that could possibly crash to virtually zero are Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Polygon (MATIC).Â
Most digital currencies have lost a significant chunk of their valuation, with bitcoin being down nearly 65% since the beginning of 2022. In addition, investorsâ interest has significantly dropped, while multiple companies experiencing liquidity issues. Former giants in the field, including FTX, BlockFi, Three Arrows Capital, and Celsius, even filed for bankruptcy.
However, the market has been through other âwintersâ in the past, and many digital currencies endured the turbulence, including bitcoin.
Subsequently, Cramer argued that the industry is full of âboostersâ who try desperately to inflate the market with considerable financial efforts, giving an example is Tether, the company issuing USDT.
âThereâs still a whole industry of crypto boosters trying desperately to keep all of these things up in the air â not too different from what happened with bad stocks during the dotcom collapse.â

Cramer: a Popular Counter Indicator
The American has displayed a highly controversial stance on crypto over the years. He predicted in 2017 that bitcoin will surge to $1 million in the future but later changed his mind and labeled it an âoutlaw currency.â
Cramer joined the pro-bitcoin team in 2020 again, praising the coinâs maximum supply of 21 million as a significant advantage over the traditional financial system and fiat currencies. He compared BTC to gold at the end of 2020 and even purchased some amounts of the asset when it was trading at around $17,500.Â
As bitcoin was heading north, so was Cramerâs support toward it. He even requested his salary to be paid in BTC instead of fiat currency in April 2021. The recent market crash, though, has changed his vision entirely, and he has returned as a crypto critic.Â
Many of his crypto predictions have been proven wrong. In September 2021, he advised investors to cash out their holdings, saying the Evergrande debt crisis in China could trigger a market crash. Bitcoin skyrocketed to an all-time high of nearly $69,000 two months later.
He also opined in January 2022 that the correction from BTC and ETH could be over, meaning investors should reconsider entering the market. Contrary to that forecast, the leading cryptocurrencies continued their downfall and are currently trading at $17,000 and $1,250, respectively, down from $47,000 and $3,700 from the beginning of the year.
