What if the leading cryptocurrency is <em><strong>positively<\/strong><\/em> unpredictable?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the question that Jim Cramer of Mad Money fame is asking now.<\/p>\n<h2>Jim Cramer: Own Bitcoin, Not MicroStrategy<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent episode of CNBC\u2019s Mad Money, financial commentator Jim Cramer shared his latest advice for crypto investors. Cramer urged viewers to consider owning Bitcoin directly rather than investing in companies like MicroStrategy.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, Michael Saylor\u2019s MicroStrategy holds over 471K Bitcoin, good for 2.24% of the entire potential 21M. At current market prices, MicroStrategy\u2019s holdings are worth $48B.<\/p>\n<p>The company has often equated its corporate strategy with Bitcoin accumulation. But Cramer expressed concerns, highlighting the volatile nature of Bitcoin prices.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Cramer advocated for a simpler, more direct approach: buying Bitcoin itself.<\/p>\n<h2>Changing Tune On Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<p>This is a huge turnaround for Cramer, who, back in January 2024, stated that Bitcoin had probably topped out and wasn\u2019t worth investing in.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin promptly did this in 2024, outperforming the S&amp;P 500 125% to 25%:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-380891\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2024.png?w=640&amp;resize=700%2C319\" alt=\"Bitcoin vs S&amp;P500 in 2024\" width=\"700\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2024.png?w=1029 1029w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2024.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2024.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2024.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2024.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/p>\n<p>And now 2025 is off to a similar start:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-380893\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2025.png?w=640&amp;resize=700%2C329\" alt=\"BTC vs SP500 in 2025\" width=\"700\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2025.png?w=863 863w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2025.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2025.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2025.png?w=104 104w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2025.png?w=83 83w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/btc-vs-sp500-2025.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/p>\n<p>It all goes to show that while $BTC is wildly unpredictable, that unpredictability often turns out to be a positive.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, if you want to find something that performed better than Bitcoin last year, you have to get even more unpredictable:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-380895\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memecoin-market-cap-2024.png?w=640&amp;resize=700%2C298\" alt=\"Memecoin Market Cap 2024\" width=\"700\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memecoin-market-cap-2024.png?w=1778 1778w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memecoin-market-cap-2024.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memecoin-market-cap-2024.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memecoin-market-cap-2024.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memecoin-market-cap-2024.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memecoin-market-cap-2024.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/memecoin-market-cap-2024.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right: memecoins are one of the few asset classes that have performed as well as BTC.
