Holders of 'cult-assets' are putting pressure on the market, Jim Cramer says

" host said. "They're dumping everything else they own instead and that's putting real pressure on the rest of the market, and that is not a good sign."

The comments come after Wall Street welcomed the direct listing of Coinbase, the cryptocurrency exchange that jumped more than 30% in its market debut. Cramer, who is bullish on Coinbase, endorsed the company as the best play for mutual funds seeking exposure to digital currency. However, messianic trading, which came to light through the Wall Street Bets crowd's backing of stocks like GameStop, is also bleeding into the crypto space, he said.

"There's a cohort in this market that seems to believe it's a sin to … sell anything at all because owning stocks [or cryptocurrency] is a cause and selling means you're betraying that cause," Cramer said. "It's starting to make me wonder if some of these followers are on a mental quarantine, especially in their ability to ignore any sign that maybe enough is enough."The Dow Jones added about 53 points, or 0.15%, to close at 33,730.89.

This from a guy who admitted on tape that he manipulated the market while a hedge fund manager.

if everything he said were true, would bonds not be the correct move?

Cramer is losing respect with me now, this is just becoming manipulative now. One week he is in love with crypto. The next he thinks they’re a conspiracy and wants them banned. Reign in on him, because this, this is just reckless conduct on his part. Your producers control him
