• Ben Armstrong made clarifications on his anti-XRP stance made in 2019.
• An old video of Armstrong resurfaced on Twitter where he called the XRP community delusional.
• BitBoy clarified that XRP has managed to mature over the past few years.

YouTuber Ben Armstrong, who goes by the name BitBoy on social media, made clarifications about his anti-XRP stance in 2019. An old video of Armstrong was reshared on Twitter, asking whether he still believes the XRP community is delusional.

A Twitter account that goes by the name of XRPDiamondhnd shared the old video asking BitBoy:

I’m just curious @Bitboy_Crypto do you still feel the same way here calling the #XRPCommunity delusional? @TimR614 @digitalassetbuy @cowboycrypto313 @xrpcoupe74 @XRP_Productions #XRP #XRPArmy #XRPHolders #xrpthestandard #XRPL pic.twitter.com/AY777U37MR

The YouTuber accepted the fact that at one time he did not believe in XRP, but over time people and their conceptions change.

BitBoy, in response to the tweet, added:

This was, I believe, September of 2019, video is still up on my channel. I hated $XRP. I bought into all the memes. The fact is, people are capable of getting new information and then changing their minds. I love it when people find stuff like this because it shows my crypto maturation

Additionally, BitBoy clarified that XRP has managed to mature over the past few years, which made him change his belief.

Notably, Armstrong has always had controversial opinions about altcoins and their functioning. Earlier this week, when the entire crypto community was making the most of the Dogecoin spike, BitBoy said that he would not buy any of the Dogecoins. Soon after the news of the Twitter acquisition, Elon Musk’s favorite coin Dogecoin surged by nearly 77% over the course of the week

Furthermore, the controversial Youtuber, earlier this month, predicted Cardano would surpass Ethereum by market capitalization. He shared his concerns regarding the threat that ADA’s listing on FTX could pose to Cardano. The move could likely mean FTX could force liquidation of all ADA positions open with the bankrupt crypto broker Voyager.
