Cardano Founder Responds as BitBoy Claims to Be ADA’s ‘Savior’
In the world of cryptocurrency, few figures are as controversial and outspoken as Ben "BitBoy" Armstrong. Known for his dramatic public persona and polarizing statements, Armstrong has once again grabbed attention—this time with a bold claim about Cardano ($ADA ).
In a surprising twist, Armstrong recently declared himself the sole reason behind Cardano’s survival, stating in a February 26 livestream that he had "single-handedly saved the $ADA project." Despite his history of dismissing Cardano as "dead," he now argues that his criticisms were actually a strategic move, intended to push institutional investors toward $ADA . He even pointed to Grayscale’s recent interest in launching a Cardano ETF as proof of his influence.
The statement has not gone unnoticed, particularly by Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, who appeared amused by Armstrong’s self-proclaimed role in ADA’s success. While the crypto space thrives on bold opinions and market speculation, the idea that one influencer could single-handedly shape the future of a top-tier blockchain remains highly debatable.
