“Look, if you like Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin. That has always been my view. And for a while, I liked it, and I decided that money had been made, but I was premature.”
According to CNBC show host, his past calls for Bitcoin were not good but still, he made lots of money with an investment in Bitcoin.
People noted that in Dec of last year, when Bitcoin trade price was fluctuating around $17k, Cramer suggested people sell their Bitcoin holdings to avoid more loss because of the price dump. From that time, the trade price of Bitcoin surged nearly 118%.

Following this information, an investment fund filed an “inverse Cramer ETF” — a financial instrument designed to return results on trades “that are approximately the opposite of Cramer ETF”
