In a new interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, the CNBC host and ex hedge fund manager Jim Cramer, issued a severe crypto warning to investors, predicting that the world’s largest cryptocurrency according to CoinmarketCap could plunge to a new $12,000 low.

Bitcoin maximalists must take a stand to prevent a critical price drop

Cramer in the interview asserted that Bitcoin top guns must take a stand soon so the coin doesn’t plunge further because if it does, that could be very dangerous for the entire crypto market. The industry is already in a very dire situation.

He goes on to say the coin could touch $12,000 which is where the whole thing began if steps are not taken to keep it afloat. Cramer continuously noted that BTC dropping to such a ridiculous price could be averted if the coin’s maximalists take a stand and see to it.

I think the people who are involved in Bitcoin have to take another stand… we need some guys to say ‘look, this is the level.’ That’s typical of what happens when it’s about to really drop big.

Just last week, the former hedge fund manager made it known that he’s a big believer in BTC and ETH, stating that they are the “most legitimate” digital assets. Cramer also noted that he owns crypto and wouldn’t advise anyone not to own some.

If the current situation continues, miners will likely sell their Bitcoins when the price rebounds, which will slow down the pace of price recovery and could put Bitcoin in a range-bound move for a while.
