Move over, Jim Cramer—crypto traders have flipped the script. A new ’Inverse Cramer’ strategy is minting fortunes by doing the opposite of Wall Street’s tired playbook. Who needs fundamentals when you’ve got irony?

Forget the suits. The real alpha? Betting against the same old institutional narratives. While hedge funds drown in compliance paperwork, retail’s laughing all the way to the blockchain bank.

Another day, another reminder: the ’smart money’ still can’t tell a bull market from a bull

ETF filing. Stay decentralized, folks.

Betting against James Wynn. (Lookonchain)

"0x2258 has been counter-trading James Wynn—shorting when James Wynn goes long, and going long when James Wynn shorts. In the past week, 0x2258 has made ~$17M, while James Wynn has lost ~$98M," Lookonchain said in the post.

Seventeen million dollars in a week just by inverse-betting on one trader is not a bad payday. However, this might be a short-term trade, and one should be very cautious as things can change lightning fast in the trading world, leaving punters millions in losses if not hedged properly.

Even James Wynn said, "I’ll run it back, I always do. And I’ll enjoy doing it. I like playing the game,” after the trader got fully liquidated over the weekend.

So, maybe this Reddit gem: "How much money WOULD you have made if you did the exact opposite of Jim Cramer?" would never translate to include James Wynn. But the sentiments, though, are loud and clear: in a market where perception is half the trade, even your PnL can get memed!
