The crypto-sphere has been sent into a flurry of speculation following the abrupt departure of widely recognized cryptocurrency influencer, Ben Armstrong, the founder of BitBoy Crypto. Armstrong noted his exit on his JoinBENcoin account, a development first released by Bitcoin enthusiast Jason A. Williams. Armstrong’s unanticipated departure has incited an array of conjectures, attempting to unravel the reasons behind his sudden exit.
One particular theory drew a link between Armstrong’s recent involvement with murky meme coins and his unexpected departure. Crypto scam researcher ZachXBT questioned whether Armstrong’s engagement with these contentious meme coins had propelled his exit. However, another Twitter user, Robbin Pilliams, suggested a quite different perspective, indicating that his departure could be tied to an ongoing investigation in Denver. Armstrong emphatically rejected the Denver hypothesis, insisting he hadn’t done anything in Denver.
Amidst the din of differing theories, Armstrong has received criticism for purportedly offloading tokens right after endorsing them, and for promoting conceivably perilous investments through affiliated connections. Such critiques raise the question of Armstrong’s departure as cover to distance himself from potential liabilities.
Adding to Armstrong’s controversial tenure is his estrangement from ben.eth, a contentious creator of meme coins. Jordand Ben.eth caught the crypto community’s attention during the PEPE memecoin season, with his cryptic BEN memecoin release amidst claims of a rug pull. This intrigue was further stoked as Armstrong backed ben.eth’s newest meme coin, LOYAL.
Concurrent to this separation from ben.eth, and in light of Armstrong’s bid adieu to BitBoy, scrutiny is mounting around Armstrong’s digital currency, BEN. Despite registering a -41.37% slump over the recent 24 hours, Armstrong demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the crypto scene, quelling fears around the future of the BEN coin.
Nevertheless, with Armstrong’s departure echoing through the crypto community, its resultant impact on both BitBoy Crypto and the BEN coin remains uncertain. In the chaos enveloping the sudden change, the official BitBoy X account has yet to issue any formal statement.
