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 he’s doubled his “Inverse Cramer” portfolio in just a month by “simply” inverse trading against CNBC’s Mad Money host Jim Cramer.
In his latest tweet on Monday, the trader, who became famous on Twitter for pre-empting the fall of Terra’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.
Was a bit late but flipped long on the Cramer account, Jim bearish on Nasdaq is good indicator for crypto

Earlier the same day, Algod announced the inverse Cramer account had “officially doubled” 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 Ether (ETH) as collateral.
According to his latest Tweet, AIgod’s inverse account shows $97,007.62 in net value, representing a whopping 88.47% return on his initial investment. Algod reiterates, however, that none of this is “financial advice.”
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 “Inverse Cramer” 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 — buy. If he recommends buying a stock — sell.
There is also an Inverse Cramer ETF Twitter account with over 84,900 followers, which is “tracking the stock recommendations of Jim Cramer so you can do the opposite.”

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 Luna Classic (LUNC) would fall below its current price of $88 starting from March 14, 2022.
Less than two months later, LUNC fell from its all-time high of over $120 to just $0.84.
