The "BitBoy Crypto" Rabbit Hole....
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2023
- BitBoy Crypto (AKA Ben Armstrong) has been ousted from his prior company, but what many viewers might not see... is the incredible track record that landed him here with some of the most visibly unhinged antics in the entire industry.
Today we take a look back at one of the industries most notorious and volatile figureheads, with all the ridiculous decisions that landed him begging for money, from a million dollar home with a Rolex on his wrist.

there is no crypto community
..btw Craig Wright is Satoshi

Bitboy is a joke but Bitcoin isn't. Look at how El Salvador is doing after adopting Bitcoin two years ago as their national currency
So Ben just got himself arrested live on stream with a weapon and the woman he was having an affair with in his car.
He is the one dude that grew up watching South Park and picked Eric Cartman as his idol and proceeded to model himself on him
Well, at least he didn't go for kenny.
@@chrisbaker8533 he probably should've
Accusing someone of being a murderer when you're caught totally sounds like a Cartman thing to do, lol
That's more of an insult to Cartman, if anything else.
At least Cartman only hurts people he intends to...
I love how BitBoy dropped the lawsuit, saying 'money's come out on his [Atozy's] side,' which translates to, 'I can't bully him after all.'
I'd never heard of Atozy until the BitBoy drama. I was well aware of what a scumbag Bitboy was prior. I love how the community rallied around atozy and raised hundreds of thousands for him. BitBoy bitched out, everyone laughed, and now I regularly watch Atozy. Everyone wins!
@@niall2236 Honestly, you have been reported for hate speech.
@@jamespryor8906 cool
@@jamespryor8906 cool but who
Lol he backed off really quick on that lmao
"Perfect track record of bad calls"
Truly he is the Jim Cramer of crypto
I was thinking BitBoy is Vince, The Sham-Wow Guy of crypto, but the Jim Cramer of crypto works, too!
Just do the opposite of what jim cramer says and you'll do great!
TH-cam/Google deserve part of blame they refused to Crack down on these scams for fear of affecting their ad revenue
Google/Alphabet/YT even run scam ads against many of these types of videos.
Crazy times!
Yes I reported it all fraudulent ads and Google never seems to take them down but if you put 5 secs of music or video from Hollywood you get hit immediately with take down notice.
That incident where he's on stage with a microphone calling that woman a pdf file and a murderer as if its a defense to yell disgusting lies is so egregious and cringe. Anyone with slightest bit of common sense and a conscience would drop him immediately and never look back. I have no sympathy for him or his followers that donated money to allow him to continue being such a disgusting perso..
It literally could be stage jest and would be funny.
I think that he meant that as "See, I can say absurd things without evidence, just like you" and get out f his defensive position.
Would habe been funny to have screenshots shown on a giant screen behind him in that moment :-D
Haha 😂 pdf file
@@jochenkraus7016 but everytime she tried to show evidence, he kept yelling over her.
The ending of this video. "I had to stop feeling sorry for them and just laugh at them." Is about how I feel about large swaths of the meme stock community. There are people that believe so much dumb shit and are aggressively hostile about them being right in spite of clearly provable facts that they aren't. Eventually you just kinda can't wait for the car wreck.
You can only warn someone so many times before eventually you give up and let them f*ck up so they learn the lesson
It;s like Trump supporters. At the beginning you can easily excuse people for getting in on it and not being aware, being mistaken or whatever. But this far down the road when it's been laid out so very clearly, then they have nobody to blame but themselves. So laughing at them is the thing to do because they THOROUGHLY deserve it.
@@crunchyfrog555 Fk off with the politics.
it's like leftists, they keep turning wherever they infest into shit and are shocked that it turned into shit, eventually you stop feeling empathy for them
AMC going to 100K a share bruh
There's something kind of funny about people donating money to a finance influencer, like surely the first thing you'd do is just not give them money and invest it instead. It's such a contradictoery business model.
Yep usually they try to package it in some PDF with affiliate links
Last point made about not feeling sorry for scammed people with regard to digital coinage - I agree. Had a student stop to chat after class about losing "a ton of money" to a bitcoin-ish scam. I listened and even replied to his questions up to the point where he appealed for me to commiserate with him and I said no. He was shocked. I told him I have seen the following pattern for too long to care anymore: (1) This person wants money but also does not want to work for that money. (2) this person finds a "get rich quick" sales pitch and goes all in. (3) This person is not broke (not rich) and has fewer assets than those at point (1). I just can't feel sorry for these people who actively and willingly convert their own greed into remorse.
I mean, I can feel sad that they made that decision and wish they chose otherwise (and thus wish better for them.) But you can feel that for even the most vile of evils.
I'm a forex trader and am actively embarassed to say it because of all of those fx scams, now they moved to crypto. People just don't recognize the same BS over and over it's not that hard, everytime they show off a lambo and rolex major red flags, anytime they promise quick easy money another major red flag. This type of scam has been going for decades if not centuries and people are just greedy and lazy and so they fall for those scams. To me if you're an idiot that falls for this type of shit after all of scams being the same thing over the years then you deserve it and have too much money on your hands.
@@laurelkeeper Honestly, you have been reported for hate speech.
@@jamespryor8906 Honestly, you have been reported for harassment.
It's no different than investing into a smallcap stock and hitting it big. You'd probably call some kid who invested in Microsoft or Amazon when they were nothing... if those companies failed you'd call it a scam. It's not "not working for their money", it's just taking high risk to try and get more out of it. That's like saying investing into a 401k isn't working for their money.
Maybe he wasn't taught anything about money or investing in his entire childhood. Some professor you are lmao. Instead of teaching them, you just shit on him. Good job. No wonder kids growing up these days learn nothing at college
He's the Jim Cramer of crypto
Honestly, you have been reported for hate speech.
TBF, Jim has a stellar track record.
Bitboy does sometimes recommend actual winners and warn people to "get out", before certain exchanges collapse.
Nah, Jim Cramer is just bad at picking stocks, but most people are hence index funds outperforming managed portfolios. Bitboy got paid to hype worthless crypto.
I love the entire Bitboy scandal. That Carlos guy pure gold. This is content at its best.
You NEED to look into Anthony Pompliano. I have a sneaking suspicion he's get a lot of the same stuff going on in the background...
Pomp is v dirty
I just want to say I'm really loving the subtle shift in your content as of late. Your stuff has always been top notch, but I imagine 'deep diving' the types of topics you have covered over the years takes a toll. There's sagely wisdom in the witticism of "Don't let the bastards get you down." Much love brother. ✌️
Now that I think of it, it’s kinda funny because kids also do that when they get confronted with, say for example, stealing something. They try to blame someone else for doing something much worse so that the person responsible for them diverts their attention to a much worse situation 😂
Honestly, you have been reported for hate speech.
@@jamespryor8906honestly, you have been reported for spam
Glad u discussed this closn, great video as always
i feel half bad for every zoomer bro that fell for this mook.
SILENCE USER STRING 🙄
It's better in the long term to burned by scammers young, as they have a chance to learn from it and recover. Any Boomers who fell for him are going to be in dire straights.
@@BleachDemon707 yea thats what happens when TH-cam removes my name from the site. sorry you zoomers are slowbro on that as well. good job.
6:03 "That graph sure gets me hyped and I mean the music is great... ohhhh shit..."
😂😂🤣 One of the funniest bits you've ever done.
If Darksyde Phil had any serious money,
that would be his soul brother.
Honestly, you have been reported for hate speech.
DSP is just a crazy person or a very bad actor
@@jamespryor8906Good! Someone has to do the dirty work.
@@nicknevco215Using guilt traps with his pity talks, betting on inferiority complexes, his "fans" most likely suffer, naw dude😂 He's a grifter, weasling around fraud law. Almost undescribable, and not a nice nor smart person.
I don't want to support bitboy ever. But a lot of people shilled ftx, celcius and luna. It was like half of crypto content makers
Dang dude, got the crypto bots to come out of their holes on this one didn't ya?
LOL.
I've always found it hilarious how these types will come up with the latest 'to the moon' thing, yet the track record is always failure.
"A fool and his money...", and all that
The whole thing is designed to extract money from idiots.
Real Talk: I live in Georgia and there’s a HIT Network building near where my aunt lives. I never thought about it until Bitboy started asking for donations- not even mentioning his *NAME IS ON THE SIGN!* I didn’t make the connection until that point! 😂
I've always wondered what that building was for.
This guy must be somewhere up there in that hellhole that is Atlanta then I take it? I'm from GA but I've never seen this building before
A friend of mine calls him a "coked up wookie" which I think is the most accurate description ever😂
It is baffling that people still fall for this BS but we have to remember that it’s still not a crime to be stupid, and it doesn’t mean they deserve to be taken advantage of. Scammers and other dirtbags justify what they do in their own minds by saying that their victims are so stupid they deserve to get scammed.
thanks for what you're doing man .
Much like Ethan Ralph, everyone likes a train wreck of an entertainer. 😢
That guy just became sad to watch
Him just yelling you’re a child molester at the woman calling him out on stage, like what did he hope to accomplish by doing that?
Thanks for video upper echelon, i have been wondering what was happening with all this.
You mussed such a big one. When he sued Atozy; one of the people who defended Atozy and called the lawsuit frivolous was one of Bitboys idol's.
Imagine if you had beef with someone on the internet and your favourite musician or actor or whatever came out of the woodwork to say "Yeah, you're in the wrong."
It must have been so crushing; absolutely beautiful.
Who was this? I want to see his reaction
@@randykitchleburger2780 it was David Schwartz
There’s gonna be a lecture in psychology classes in the next few years, and this guy will be a case study for watching someone go 730 in real time via twitter.
In all fairness to Bitboy, you really should google what Kevin O'leary did with his boat lmao
Kevin might actually be a murderer, just not directly. If someone digs hard enough, they could probably find a worker at a company he owns/owned that died as a result of working there.
Come on over here BitBoy!!! We would ALL love to chat 😂🤣
If you just waited one more day...
I remember when he was referred to as the Alpha of Crypto. It was pathetic then, unsurprising now
We should probably check the source of the donations.
This. It smells more like him and his associates "shuffling" money than actual donations.
Nobody is THAT fucking dumb...
...right?!
Yess !!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for a video like this,, 🍿📺.
Ola My brother rusty.. you dislike XRP and Ben.. come on brother..lol.. oh well.. for the record I love your comments and always seeing you in all the chats on some many channels.. you are busy.. I see you everywhere.. you must believe in crypto as much as I do..
@@kylehansen14 Ola! ✊, nah I hold some XRP, but I really dislike Ben, and the reason is because all the scams he did in 2020. I feel like if we are going to lose money, we can handle that on our own. I believe in the future of crypto. At first I used to believe it was a scam until i really understood it. Then I fomoed in a few weeks before ATH,,lol. when it started to drop, I realized I have to understand everything, and why it dropped, and everything about it, but Im still learning.
My decision to avoid crypto all together is still paying off.
You do realise many of these TH-camrs who make these videos are into crypto? There's a huge difference between something like Bitcoin vs Ethereum/BNB smart contracts (where most of the scams occur.) It's fine to avoid, it's not for everyone, but at least understand that all these people telling you how scary crypto is are into it themselves.
Wow. The timing of this is wild lmao
Speaking of lawsuits. How is your battle against mario nawfal?
Good vid broski
4:11 he also said, “Well now he has the money” in a video he later deleted while talking about why he dropped the lawsuit.
Dude plays mario cart, gets 3 bananas only to drive into Thema in the next round
He was taken off the law suit.
What happened to your Guardio video? It was deleted while i was watching it.
vid needs an update with bitboy getting arrested video
Fatboy crypto , LFG he will scam his community again
Bitboy is going to face the booty warrior in jail
Yup he'll be the bentboy soon
Been waiting for this 😂
Well, that escalated.
you went for the throat with that crypto observation you made 💀
He looks like Dark Side Phil's brother.... imagine that.
I wonder if BitBoy knows that almost all NFTs have become worthless and defunct. It would be hilarious to me but he would probably find another scam to promote even if he knows.
I have been into crypto for a decade now and I have never heard of any of the celebs on this channel.
Amen. I mean sure I'd heard about them and even watched a few vids here and there, but anyone with a modicum of brains realizes quickly who are scammers and who are not, and reducing a whole industry to the behavior of a few within it is incorrect and unfair. People have been calling bitcoin a scam since it was 1$, now it is 25k, I just let them talk and keep DCAing.
The Terra "oof" had me rolling!
is there any positive news in crypto, or is the situation really this bad?
Honestly, you have been reported for hate speech.
Crypto is in a bear market at the moment.Always bad news at this time. April 2024 things will change.
Nope.
10:04 you don't "file" a cease and desist, it's just a letter
He's literally in jail, right now
perfect example of someone who would otherwise be driving a forklift in a warehouse for a living pretending to be a financial expert having their imposter persona discovered - bullshit can only get you so far before it catches up to you
there was a video where i told us that it was not his lambo, that it was a company lambo. but I can't find it now,
All that coke got bitboy's brain hardwired short circuit
Shits on Ben for asking for donations because he’s been locked out of his own company then literally end the video telling his subs where to send the donations 😂
The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was his pumping of HEX. After my personal DD I was absolutely flabbergasted he’d support and promote such a “project.”
"Crypto is a joke."
Yeah! (feverishly checking Coinbase account)
BITchBOY
I bet the donators are rich people wanting to feed the circus that is Ben Armstrong.
Yes, the "financial advisor" belongs as a cell mate to scam bankrupt fraud.
I kinda liked when he went to Bermuda to personally pester SBF and his parents. (If, in fact, that actually happened.) I'd love to see him and SBF get in a fistfight.
I burst out laughing at “FT Fuckin’ X!” 🤣
Will he ask for us to put crypto on his books to buy ramen and handballs?
He got the mistress in the back, a weapon in the vehicle, supposedly found illegal drugs in the car. Woo....
Bitboy Crypto is now Bitboy Gangsta
Funny, just announced that he got arrested
Who would’ve thought financial advice from a meth addict would be a bad idea
BitBoy Crypto needs to have his own reality show....the Crypto version of the reality show Jersey Shore....
Coindesk reporting that Ben was arrested prowling/loitering and simple assault in Georgia on Monday
Drugs are bad mmmkay
The people paying him are probably very VERY far into the sunken cost fallacy... That's the only way to explain it.
“Show me the difference between greedy and stupid and I’ll have my brother in law arrest it.” The Big Short
Really did your research on this one lolol feel bad for ppl watching this tripe channel
Side fun note: I like how Atozy adopted the look of "Jim Anchower" (for those who remember _The Onion_ from back when it was good).
Note this comment isn't meant as a slight against Atozy. Far from it! It's just an aesthetic lul.
Inside Telco SIM swaps is a real thing.
I wasnt ready for the oof!
Every time I hear about one of these crypto things I think of that old saying… there’s a sucker born every minute.
I was looking at the comments under Ben's latest videos and everyone was like oh Ben I feel so bad for you and in the video he is aggressively gaslighting his audience into thinking he's a victim and the world is conspiring ruin him, na dude your just a toxic narcissist.
So Ben just got himself arrested in rather spectacular fashion.
With his "ex" mistress and yakked outta his mind, opioids I'm assuming because he was for sure acting high as shit
is he the same guy that was running around claiming illuminati wanted to kill him or something? XD
yea tried to watch Bitboy was really really hard to do so, also the reason well one of the many reasons i stopped listen to most advice on crypto or other investments because of how many bad faith actors there are.
6:20 Cramer does the same thing in trad fi, but hes protected.
bitboy? more like bitboomer
cya at 1m subs
It's gold Jerry!!! You just cant write this shit up.
Much like most of these things, it ain't a rabbit hole: its a whole warren.
Upper Echelon is where I go to see the redditor adjacent perception of crypto.
Honestly, you have been reported for hate speech.
Oh shit i was just listening to the first bitboy vid
Zero lies detected
Excellent timing. Love that he’s now in jail after a mental breakdown. Deserved is an understatement.
Honestly at first I read "BitBoy" as "B*tchBoy"
Wow, 0.00. Even the worst cryptos are worth like fractions of a penny.
omg that freakout scene has me cringing so hard.
I was laughing at how anyone would take him seriously after that
9:38 bitboy doing decentralized hits😂
This guy looks like The Completionist if nothing but his hair aged 25 years.
4:58 I'm no fan of BitBoy, but credit where credit is due, *months* prior to FTX's collapse, BitBoy denounced FTT/FTX and was one of the earliest dissenters of the crypto giant. So at least on that point, BitBoy was actually right
Yep he saved a lot of people money if they listened to him on the FTX call he was the first to warn everyone
..and what about all the rest of all shit he promoted?
@cyuiyuwyguiyui8540 all youtubers promotes shit coins
@@cyuiyuwyguiyui8540 -- It is free advice on the interwebs. Many other people promoted the same things. Bitboy did not promote FTX and warned people about the problems and possible issues at FTX.
Nobody is perfect, though - always best to do your own research. Also the SEC is not doing their jobs... at protecting people or markets - except maybe the established banks/markets. Bitboy had been fairly reactive, of late - maybe the last year or 18 months. I guess the stress was getting to him. That does not excuse any of his behavior, though it would seem there is plenty of that to go around - with all "Influencers".
He shilled all that stuff, including Celsius and other garbage etc etc. He denounced FTX probably after talking with Richard Heart. Bitboy also started cringe flexing after he saw Richard Heart do it (peacocking, marketing), difference is he cringe flexs unironically.
I feel like when I first subbed here, it was for some game content, but I can't think what on earth it was 😅 not complaining. I've been a fan for years, just slightly perplexed
