The "Cramer Curse" endures as the host of CNBC's "Mad Money" calls Bitcoin a "winner" days before the world's largest cryptocurrency saw a 2.5% price drop.
In the 45-second clip from a "Mad Money" segment on Nov. 21, Greg in Florida asks host Jim Cramer, a former hedge fund manager, whether he should buy or sell MicroStrategy stock.
"I've gotta tell you, it's a Bitcoin play. I prefer to actually own Bitcoin. I know that Citron put some sort of short on it," Cramer responded.
"All I can say is: own Bitcoin. That's a winner," he added in the widely shared clip on X.
