Title: Jim Cramer - "I endorsed Bitcoin in The Good Wife, what more can you ask!?"
Post by: julz on August 11, 2012, 01:06:16 AM
A recent tweet from Jim Cramer of 'mad money' fame (and now famous in Bitcoin circles for his cameo on 'The Good Wife' - 'Finding Mr Bitcoin' episode):

"I endorsed Bitcoin in The Good Wife, what more can you ask!?"




Well.. in the show, I recall him basically just saying it wasn't a currency, which didn't sound quite like an endorsement  - but good to hear him say he 'endorsed' it.

Ahhhh! What? Jim Cramer endorsed Bitcoin?

SELL SELL SELL!!! HOLD BITCOINS AND IT'LL LAND YOU IN THE *HOUSE OF PAIN* *OTHER RIDICULOUS SOUND EFFECTS* *HIT SOMETHING WITH A SQUEAKY HAMMER*

It may be interesting to watch a Jim Cramer / Alex Jones mashup. :)

Hopefully this endorsement isn't as shit as his Lehman Brothers one.

Everybody is playing "Wait and See" when they should be playing get ready or miss out. In other words, smart investors should be developing the infrastructure that will give them either blocks, fees, or both. In fact, It would be insane to not have secret BFL-on-steroids type projects. Actually, institutional funds should be planning entire fabrication plants designed to create custom Bitcoin processors.

anybody who understands what Jim Cramer is about had to have viewed his role on the Good Wife as a VERY bullish sign for Bitcoin.  his mere participation at the least made him more aware of what is going on and it's his job to figure out what's the next hot thing.  i know he doesn't do the best job at it, at least publicly, but he does have the connections and inside track on things.

i bought more Bitcoin after that episode.

actually b/c i don't think he ever said anything about Bitcoin publicly after that episode meant to me he was accumulating.

He probably only tweeted because I maaaay have pestered him a couple times over the last few days about it (I'm @KJ6CCZ (https://twitter.com/KJ6CCZ), ham radio operators UNITE!). Good to actually hear that he endorses Bitcoin though!

a good game to play while watching it, is to take a swig of your beer every time you hear the word bitcoin, 3x bitcoin in less then 10 seconds means you have to down your beer.

you'll need alot of beer.  ;)

I really like Jim Cramer.  He's always been an advocate of doing your own research and watching out for your investment.  Back in '05 or '06 there's a video of him screaming at the top of his lungs about how subprime mortgages are terrible and going to cause the biggest crash in the economy we've ever seen, and when he went on Jon Stewart as a representative of the financial side and Stewart just ripped into him, he basically sat there and took it and said yeah you got screwed and it was our fault.  I'm reading his autobiography now by the way too, and it's pretty fascinating.  I really feel like he's one of the good guys.
