Crypto trader doubles portfolio in a month betting against Jim Cramer

Twitter-famous crypto trader AIgod has brought a smile to the community after announcing heโ€™s doubled his “Inverse Cramer” portfolio in just a month by “simply” inverse trading against CNBCโ€™s Mad Money host Jim Cramer.

In his latest tweet on Aug. 22, the trader, who became famous on Twitter for pre-empting the fall of Terra Lunaโ€™s collapse earlier this year, said he has just flipped to a long position on his inverse Jim Cramer account following a bearish tweet from Cramer about the state of the Nasdaq.

Earlier in the same day, Algod announced the inverse Cramer account had โ€œofficially doubledโ€ for the first time, reaching a net value of $101,440.71, up from a starting amount of $51,470.56 on July 19 when he used 35 ETH as collateral.

According to his latest Tweet, AIgodโ€™s inverse account shows $97,007.62 in net value, representing a whopping 88.47% return on his initial investment. Algod reiterates howeverthat none of this is “financial advice.”ย 

Jim Cramer is a former hedge fund manager who hosts CNBC’s Mad Money. He is well-known in the finance world, but some in the crypto community believe it may be wiser to bet against his crypto and stock picks.

The โ€œInverse Cramerโ€ has become something of a meme after a movement started on Reddit and Twitter pushing a simple idea. If Cramer says to sell a stock โ€” buy. If he recommends buying a stock โ€” sell.

There is also an Inverse Cramer ETF Twitter account with over 84,900 followers, which is โ€œtracking the stock recommendations of Jim Cramer so you can do the oppositeโ€.

AIgod has become well-known within the crypto space following a $1 million bet between him and Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon, in which AIgod claimed that in one year the price of Terraโ€™s LUNA token would fall below its current price of $88 starting from Mar. 14, 2022.

Less than two months later, Luna fell from its all-time high of over $120 to just $0.84.
