If you’ve been enjoying life and staying offline, you may have missed Ben Armstrong, aka “BitBoy,” ranting like a maniac for several minutes about cryptocurrency regulation and influencers. But don’t worry, here it is in all its glory:
And here’s the diatribe diluted to its most interesting moments:
“You know what? We are tired of people that look like this guy [Ryan Sean Adams, a podcaster] trying to run stuff. I don’t represent the people? The f*ck I don’t! I’m the one who does! It’s me! I’m the one out here putting the work in, behind the scenes, trying to save crypto, while these devils, Sam Bankman-Fried [founder and CEO of FTX], Brian Armstrong [co-founder and CEO of Coinbase], they’re trying to permanently ruin it! This is not about money for me! … I’m here, fighting for you!”
“Only the suits know what to do! Only the suits! Only the people who have all the money, they’re going to determine what happens! No!”
“Are you not tired of this technocracy? I hope you are, cause I am!… You guys are gonna see that we’re the ones who care, we’re the ones who are trying to give the people a say in what happens, not the elite!”
“Sam Bankman-Fried is the devil! He is the devil in crypto! … This guy is literally trying to ruin crypto permanently in the United States!”
As usual, the crypto industry has played itself, locked in place somewhere…
