When asked if Bitcoin would hold up during a financial crisis, Cramer responded affirmatively, describing it as “just a nice hedge for what I’m afraid.”
“I know we can grow our way out of this,” Cramer added regarding the national debt situation. “My hope is we do that, but I’m just very worried about my kids.”
Cramer is known for making bold and frequent animated stock predictions.
Many traders and online communities have observed that when Cramer is particularly bullish or bearish on a stock or sector, the market often moves in the opposite direction shortly thereafter. It’s this recurring trend that has led to the phenomenon of “Inverse Cramer.”
Bitcoin was trading at $118,227 at press time, down 1% in the last 24 hours, per CoinGecko data.
