**Jim Cramer Endorses Bitcoin Despite Recent Dip**

On a recent episode of CNBC's Mad Money, Jim Cramer suggested that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies should be part of an investor's portfolio as a hedge against the growing U.S. deficit, now over $36 trillion. Despite Bitcoin's 2% drop to around $92,700, Cramer remains optimistic, citing national debt concerns as a reason to hold crypto. Known for his controversial investment advice, Cramer has faced criticism for past crypto skepticism but now acknowledges the potential of digital assets. Bitcoin recently peaked at $99,571 before cooling off.
