    <p>Ben Armstrong, formerly BitBoy, has once again proven that a little manufactured drama goes a long way after a video in which he simultaneously claims that he’s leaving crypto YouTube — while also confirming that he’ll continue to upload videos — racked up nearly 80,000 views in a single day.</p>
    <p>In the recently uploaded clip, titled ‘I’m Retiring From Crypto <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="YouTube" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/youtube.html">YouTube</a>,’ Armstrong claims that he’s probably not going to be doing a crypto livestream anymore. The statement, of course, comes with several caveats.</p>
    <p>For starters, given his use of the word ‘probably,’ there’s a chance that he’ll return to do livestreams sometime in the future. But even if he doesn’t, the title of the video is more than a little misleading given that he also clarifies that he’d still be uploading to his YouTube channel. Indeed, toward the end he specifies that he’ll “still have three videos a day, more videos coming.”</p>
    <p>During the video, Armstrong appears to be holding back tears as he describes how he’s “<strong>paying lawyers $100,000 a month</strong>” and that the show costs “$25,000 a week” to produce. It’s unclear if those numbers are accurate, but based on his most recent uploads which take place in a much smaller, poorly lit, closet-like space, his budget has been cut back drastically.</p>

    <p>This isn’t the first time Armstrong has ramped up the on-camera <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="drama" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/drama.html">drama</a>.</p>
    <p>The attention-hungry <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="YouTube" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/youtube.html">YouTube</a>r recorded himself last year complaining about being unable to get back the Lamborghini that had been purchased for the company he helped start (but was later fired from). He received $80,000 worth of cryptocurrency donations to pursue a case against the firm.</p>
    <p>Later in the year, after a very public affair and divorce, Armstrong took to live-streaming again, this time <strong>with his mistress hidden in the back of an SUV, carrying a handgun</strong>, and on his way to confront a business associate. He was later arrested and spent the night in county jail.</p>
    <p>The social media influencer also bought into a token of his own last year — a coin which has seen its value, trade volume, and interest plummet since it was created.</p>
    <p>“You know,” Armstrong says at the end of his most recent video, “the show is really all I have now. I’ve lost everything.”</p>
