Three days ago, Cramer tweeted that he\u2019s \u201csticking with\u201d his ethereum position \u201cbut not adding to it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Jim Cramer: \u2018Ether Is a Pied Piper Security\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>A number of CNBC broadcast hosts are <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/hedge-fund-manager-brian-kelly-says-increasing-institutional-interest-in-bitcoin-down-to-its-fixed-supply\/\">proponents<\/a> of cryptocurrencies and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimcramer\">Jim Cramer<\/a>, the host of the \u201cMad Money\u201d show is one of these individuals. At the end of June, Bitcoin.com News reported on how Cramer moved his bitcoin position into ethereum instead and he opined that ether was \u201cmore of a currency.\u201d A few days ago, Cramer tweeted about sticking to his <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\">ETH<\/a> position but also emphasized that he wasn\u2019t adding to it. Cramer also discussed his fondness for ethereum (<a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\">ETH<\/a>) in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/jim-cramer\/jim-cramer-ethereum-pied-piper-cryptocurrency\">recent interview<\/a> with the news outlet thestreet.com.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Cramer who was once a bitcoin bull has now turned his attention to ethereum. In fact, in late June Cramer said he wanted <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\">BTC<\/a> to get <span>\u201cwrenched out\u201d when he said: \u201cHave you noticed how low bitcoin is and how it seems to be hanging by a thread? Once again, a sign of speculative excess. I like bitcoin, but I want to see it wrenched out before I get in again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The host of the \u201cMad Money\u201d show explained during the interview that he believes ethereum is \u201cthe Pied Piper of cryptocurrency.\u201d Cramer expressed his thoughts after Elon Musk\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-spacex-owns-bitcoin-personally-owns-btc-ethereum-dogecoin-pump-dont-dump\/\">discussion<\/a> with Twitter CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/jack-dorseys-square-building-bitcoin-hardware-wallet-to-make-crypto-custody-more-mainstream\/\">Jack Dorsey<\/a> and Ark Invest CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-jack-dorsey-cathie-wood-discuss-bitcoin-live-b-word-event\/\">Cathie Wood<\/a>. The CNBC broadcast host explained to thestreet.com that the Tesla founder had an influence on the price. \u201cYou should go <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/buy.bitcoin.com\/eth\">buy Ethereum<\/a> for trade, <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\">ETH<\/a> is going to run and I may bail on half my position if we get about 20% up (for <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\">ETH<\/a>) and I think we will,\u201d Cramer said. The CNBC show host added:<\/p>\n<p>Musk is out there saying he buys Ethereum, and therefore Ethereum goes higher. It\u2019s a Pied Piper security.<\/p>\n<p><!-- growjs zone placement 31 -->    <!-- end of growjs zone placement --> <\/p>\n<h2>Mad Money Host Highlights Ethereum\u2019s Dominance in the NFT Sector<\/h2>\n<p>Cramer vouched for ethereum\u2019s use cases and discussed the fact that people are buying non-fungible token (NFT) collectible assets like the Steve Jobs <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/steve-jobs-physical-job-application-and-mirror-copy-in-nft-form-to-faceoff-on-the-auction-block\/\">handwritten job application NFT<\/a>. The CNBC show host remarked that most NFTs are typically purchased with ether today. A number of individuals responded to Cramer\u2019s tweet that noted he wouldn\u2019t be adding to his position. While many people <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BitcoinRothbard\/status\/1418493740235243522?s=20\">disagreed<\/a> with Cramer\u2019s point of view and even <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pupper_crypto\/status\/1418309923130257416?s=20\">implied<\/a> his exposure to crypto was merely \u201cethereum shares,\u201d a few people responding to his thread <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IncomeSharks\/status\/1418287093181161472?s=20\">agreed<\/a> with Cramer.<\/p>\n<p>Some people questioned Cramer in a different manner and wanted him to elaborate on why he wasn\u2019t stacking more ether. \u201c$4,400 was the ATH for <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\">ETH<\/a> set in April of this year,\u201d one person <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrIncredibleROI\/status\/1418351859731947528?s=20\">said<\/a> in response to Cramer\u2019s <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\">ETH<\/a> position tweet. \u201cWe\u2019re currently sitting at approximately $2K per unit representing basically a 55% retracement. Curious as to why you wouldn\u2019t take advantage of this opportunity? Do you foresee lower prices? Care to elaborate?\u201d the individual asked.<\/p>\n<p>For someone who believes ethereum is a \u201cPied Piper security,\u201d Cramer\u2019s tweet seemingly reveals uncertainty. Since his tweet concerning his ethereum position, the \u201cMad Money\u201d show host has been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimcramer\/status\/1418306234097278978?s=20\">tweeting about tech stocks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimcramer\/status\/1418555141909843972?s=20\">equities<\/a> tied to the franchise Domino\u2019s Pizza.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about Jim Cramer saying ethereum is a Pied Piper security?
