Jim Cramer says he never comments on Bitcoin, but he did discuss the cryptocurrency with his Trading Strategies roundtable.

Bitcoin crossed $1,800 Thursday for the first time ever, although it pulled back to around $1,780.35 as of Friday morning. Jim Cramer talked Bitcoin this week in his monthly Trading Strategies roundtable with four of TheStreet's top columnists.

Panelists noted that people are using the so-called "cryptocurrency" to store value. For instance, the panel speculated that people in Venezuela -- where the economy seems on the brink of collapse -- might turn to Bitcoin rather than gold because governments can seize precious metals but not Bitcoin.

The panel also discussed Bitcoin ETFs, which are one of the only ways to short the currency.
