Jim Cramer warns not to buy SHIB and DOGE

Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money show, stated last week that investors should avoid putting their money in risky assets and should especially avoid crypto and not “get memed,” which is likely to be interpreted as avoiding meme coins Dogecoin and SHIB, as well as meme stocks. Among those who believe so is influencer David Gokhshtein, who mentioned it to his followers on Twitter.

He reminded the CNBC audience that Powell recommended “to stop doing stupid things with our money.” Besides, Powell mentioned that taming inflation may cause “some pain” on U.S. businesses and households.

Jim Cramer also announced that his belief in Bitcoin as a store of value.

Don’t get memed. Don’t get SPAC’d. Don’t get crypto’d.
