The ballooning United States (USA) debt is back in focus, as Mad Money TV host Jim Cramer sounds the alarm over a potential U.S. Government shutdown. Shared with an image of the National Debt Clock, Jim wrote the caption: “buy crypto”.
Cramer Goes Pro-Crypto, Holders Sound The Alarm
These two magic words have puzzled the crypto community, which consider Jim Cramer to be “always wrong”, often preceding bear markets with bullish tweets and bullish runs for messages of doom.

This time, Jim Cramer’s conviction to urge his audience to buy crypto currency scared the market participants to unprecedented levels, as the market just reclaimed $4 trillion in the early rebound stages.
Some Crypto Twitter commentators went as far as to post the iconic Will Smith meme, where the actor is slapping the OG comedian Chris Rock after certain remarks about his wife. Further on, crypto millionaires like Michael van de Poppe were ready to “sell everything”.
Last but not least, Jim Cramer’s parody account Inverse Cramer posted an image depicting a lost war, dubbed with the conclusion “oh man, it’s over”. With the community being stunned about Jim Cramer’s cryptic message, the outcome is also quite on the surprising side.
In spite of the mild panic across crypto market connoisseurs, the showpiece asset Bitcoin (BTC) recouped $113K, while Ether (ETH) briefly rebounded to $4.20K in Tuesday’s mild crypto market rebound. With the SEC restoring market clarity yesterday after ditching all ETF delays, the crypto market, a hedge against USD inflation, has another reason to shine this year.

On Sept 29, 2025, Cramer urged “Buy crypto” on CNBC and X, citing it as “insurance” against the US’s $37.63T debt amid fiscal policy concerns.
Cramer’s history of calling crypto a “scam” and his “Inverse Cramer” reputation—where his predictions often fail—sparked memes and skepticism.
Bear Stearns: Called it “fine” at $60 in Mar 2008; crashed to $2. Bitcoin: Said it “won’t hold” at $39K in 2024; hit $99K+. Meta: Bullish at 2022 peak; stock fell 70%+.
His calls, like Bear Stearns and Meta, led to significant losses for followers, while his bearish stock picks (2016-22) averaged +14% gains.
Be cautious—his track record inspired the “Inverse Cramer ETF” in 2022, designed to bet against his recommendations.
