CNBC's Jim Cramer is maintaining his stance on cryptocurrencies. The CNBC Mad Money host warned in August that speculative assets like cryptocurrencies might struggle during the current Federal Reserve tightening cycle and urged investors to steer clear of them.

He also stated that he no longer believed in the argument that Bitcoin is a store of value. According to Cramer, the warning is necessary because Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell "is going to bring the pain until it puts an end to the gambling."

Cramer, a well-known host of CNBC's Mad Money, frequently offers advice and forecasts for the cryptocurrency and stock communities. Most people follow his counsel as an inverse bet because similar predictions have been missed numerous times.
