Today’s live broadcast couldn’t be more pertinent with everything that has happened in recent weeks in the crypto industry. I’m welcoming back my good friend and someone who has been at the forefront of the FTX collapse and spent much of the last four weeks camped out in the Bahamas.
That’s right, Ben ‘BitBoy’ Armstrong is back in the London Real hot seat. Ben is a personal finance influencer, investor and crypto enthusiast who is probably best known as Bitboy Crypto thanks to his increasingly popular YouTube channel that, alongside his various platforms, has made him one of the most watched figures in the cryptoverse.
The last time Ben joined me on the show, we went deep on the bear market, the significance of the Ethereum Merge, Celsius, Terra Luna and of course Ben warned us all about FTX and SBF.
If you’re not aware, Ben is the leader of a new wave of savvy entrepreneurs who made early investment moves in Bitcoin and has spent the last few years down the rabbit hole, acquiring the kind of knowledge base that has seen him become a popular face among YouTube cryptocurrency education.
With over 5 million dedicated followers, Ben uses his platform to update experienced traders and newbies alike with his unique blend of information and entertainment as he delves deep into the day’s hot topics. From wild price swings and the latest altcoin recommendations to blockchain upgrades and the geopolitical ramifications of Bitcoin, Ben brings it all to the fore with a charm and charisma that often belies his deep understanding of the space.
Ben knows only too well the value of sharing ideas and information. He understands the importance of education and how this will ensure new traders and investors don’t make the all too common mistakes he himself made nearly a decade ago. As Ben will testify, this technology has the power to revolutionise our financial systems and structures.
Ben also has some sound advice on how to navigate the bear market, while pointing to the often overlooked but crucial fact that we are simply in the midst of the same four-year Bitcoin cycle that we’ve seen previously.
Ben told us all that FTX was on the brink, and he’s continued to update us on everything that’s happening, live from the Bahamas. Ben was in court just last week for the initial hearing following SBF’s arrest and in a bizarre twist had his moment to look Sam Bankman-Fried dead in the eyes.
Ben doesn’t want SBF to be extradited to the US but believes he should go to jail for a very long time. I can’t wait to get the inside story on everything that happened and what Ben believes we’ll see next as this scandalous story continues to unfold.
Amidst the daily live shows and vlogs, Ben has also found time to write a book – Catching Up to Crypto: Your Guide to Bitcoin and the New Digital Economy – which offers a comprehensive breakdown of Bitcoin, the blockchain and the future of money.
“You’re early. Next year – you’ll still be early. Educate your friends and family. The importance and relevance this technology brings are revolutionary.”
I always look forward to my conversations with Ben, he’s a really smart guy who is so knowledgeable about this space and I’m really keen to get his thoughts on how he sees 2023 shaping up, and what the future looks like for CZ and Binance. It’s going to be an explosive conversation and a necessary watch for anyone wanting to stay one step ahead of the curve.
