Bitboy Crypto Is Dead, Long Live Discover Crypto—Here's What's Really Going On

So the drama everyone’s been watching just hit peak level. Ben Armstrong’s Bitboy Crypto empire is getting a full makeover, rebranding to “Discover Crypto” after he and HIT Network officially parted ways. And yeah, there’s a lawsuit involved.

The new CEO TJ Shedd is spinning this as a positive reset: “We’re moving to a more mature, nuanced approach,” he told media. Translation? We’re distancing ourselves from the chaos. The channel’s still doing twice-daily shows (10:30 am and 4:00 pm ET), but now with fresh faces—bringing in Joshua Jake (530k TikTok followers) and other influencers to rebuild credibility.

Here’s where it gets messy:

Last month, Armstrong sued TJ Shedd and his dad over what he claims is an illegal power grab of the company he founded in 2018. The Shedds allegedly conspired to wrest control while Armstrong was dealing with other issues. Neither side is backing down.

What happened next? Armstrong’s fans came through—literally. In under 24 hours, supporters donated ~$60k worth of BTC and ETH to his wallets to help fund his legal defense. That’s the kind of loyalty that actually says something.

Then there’s the September arrest that nobody’s forgotten. Armstrong was live on YouTube, got into some heated confrontation about getting his Lamborghini back from someone named Carlos Diaz, things escalated into conspiracy rabbit holes, and cops showed up. Peak internet drama.

The vibe shift: Discover Crypto is positioning itself as the “serious” player now—talking macro analysis, institutional adoption, regulation. Meanwhile Armstrong’s fighting to prove he still owns what he built. BTC’s hanging around $28.8k as of press time, up 2.18% in 24h.

Whoever wins this one, the crypto influencer space just got a lot more interesting.
