The host of Mad Money, Jim Cramer, has some advice for cryptocurrency investors. “I would never discourage you from buying crypto,” he said, adding that he himself owns ethereum.
Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, gave some advice regarding cryptocurrency investing on CNBC Make It Wednesday. Cramer is a former hedge fund manager who co-founded Thestreet.com, a financial news and literacy website.
“I think crypto should be part of a person’s diversified portfolio,” he began, elaborating:
I can’t tell you not to own crypto. I own crypto. I own ethereum.
I would prefer that you would do it in ethereum or bitcoin, which have the largest followings … I would be careful.
Cramer further warned that investors should not borrow money to buy crypto. “Borrow for your house, borrow for your car — but don’t borrow for crypto,” the Mad Money host emphasized, concluding:
I would never discourage you from buying crypto because of all the fortunes that have been made there, and how it could make a whole new group of people fortunes … I’d like that to be you.
