The anchor belittled the SOL holders as “idiots” when the token was trading at $11. Today, Solana is one of the best-performing tokens, which trades at $168, reflecting a 1,400% increase since the comments aired. This prompted many observers in the crypto community to popularize the “Inverse Cramer” effect. Crypto Holders Now Popularize The Inverse Cramer Effect Like most tokens, Solana experienced extreme volatility in the last two years. Jim Cramer was one of the most vocal detractors of the token, saying that holders of SOL “are idiots” and that these are con projects. In the same TV show, he added that SOL holders should not own and buy these tokens in the first place. However, current pricing for SOL paints a different picture. Plenty of other situations showcased Cramer’s wrong or poor judgment. Since there were several bad calls from Cramer, many in the crypto industry have coined the term “Inverse Cramer Effect.” In short, many observers suggest that the best trade should be the opposite of what Cramer says. Today, you can even find the Inverse Cramer ETF, which Tuttle Capital Management institutionalized. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $73,000, Yet Google Searches Stay Stagnant—Is Hype Fading?
