BitBoy Crypto
BitBoy crypto is a famous crypto influencer that has amassed over 1.5 million followers on his Youtube account and almost 1M followers in his official Twitter account. His influence is significant in the crypto industry, albeit it is also riddled with controversy along with other crypto influencers.
A CNBC Report shows that BitBoy Crypto and other crypto influencers openly accept large crypto promotions to promote various crypto projects. He also confirmed that he could easily make $100,000 per month only through his promotions.
According to this CNBC report many of the cryptocurrency ventures BitBoy has promoted have plummeted in value, such as Ethereum Yield, Cypherium and MYX Network. BitBoy deleted these promotional videos soon after.
Armstrong has previously said he discloses all his paid partnerships
US Government Recently Sanctioned Tornado Cash
The government only recently announced they would prohibit Americans from getting together with mixers such as for example Tornado Cash. The crypto community had not been happy with this decision, plus some community members called this a “War on Code” or perhaps a direct attack on privacy.
Forks of Tornado Cash along with other alternatives to utilize Tornado Cash following the ban already are being posted around Twitter.
🌪️ Use @TornadoCash After Their Ban.
🧵 That is my small contribution to a far more decentralized and privacy-oriented world.

It really is unclear whether Bitboy is likely to do something related to the recent sanctions or if his tweet is entirely unrelated.
