‘Bitboy’ Ben Armstrong, the controversial crypto influencer known for his flashy vlogs and price predictions, has announced that he will be ending his daily crypto show after three years. In a heartfelt video shared on his personal YouTube channel, Armstrong explained that the financial burden of producing the show had become unsustainable, costing him $25,000 a week. He also revealed that he was facing a legal battle which was adding to his monthly expenses of around $100,000.
“It’s a tough situation out here, guys. I’ve got lawyers coming at me from every direction,” Armstrong expressed in the 10-minute video, which had already gathered 18,000 views by Wednesday evening. “Everyone seems to be coming after me right now.”
Armstrong gained popularity as “Bitboy,” a charismatic and outspoken figure in the crypto community who regularly shared price predictions and news updates. His videos, such as “Make IMPOSSIBLE Gains with Bitcoin SUPERCYCLE,” garnered a substantial following and views in the tens of thousands.
However, Armstrong’s fame took a dramatic turn when he faced serious allegations and personal controversies related to his own cryptocurrency, $BEN coin, which he launched in mid-2023. After being expelled from the BitBoy world, the company behind the brand, Armstrong proceeded to file a lawsuit against them.
The situation escalated further when it was revealed that Armstrong had been involved in an affair with the CEO of BEN Coin. This scandalous revelation coincided with his arrest at the home of a former business partner during one of his livestreams, adding to the chaos surrounding him.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Armstrong and his involvement in the cryptocurrency world. As he bids farewell to his daily crypto show, his controversial journey will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on both his followers and the industry as a whole.
