Canadian gambling entrepreneur Calvin Ayre is changing his focus from online gambling to crypto currencies and the Bitcoin market. The billionaire creator of Bodog Entertainment online gambling started publishing online gambling news about the latest trends and various opportunities related to the betting market back in 2009. Ayre’s aim was to provide a news source for consumers of betting products looking to understand the scope and the ins and outs of the complex industry.
Calvin Ayre is now fifty nine and has revealed in a statement to CalvinAyre.com fans that the domain will close down because he wants to put a bigger effort into the virtual currency Bitcoin SV created by computer scientist Craig Wright. Mr. Wright claims he is the individual who originally innovated the Bitcoin in 2008. He is now trying to legally regain as much as $3.5 billion in allegedly stolen cryptocurrency money.
It was reported that Ayre was part of a consortium that invested around $30 million into Mr.Wright’s endeavors in May of 2016. This investment preceded the acquiring of the cryptocurrency news website CoinGeek.com. Calvin Ayre put his considerable personal influence into promoting the Bitcoin Cash blockchain after that.
The shuttering of the Calvin Ayre web page leaves a number of the seasoned contributors who wrote for the site looking for employment elsewhere. However industry reported with Ayre since the beginning twelve years ago Rebecca Liggero will go with CoinGeek.com to provide her unique insights on a number of cryptocoin related business developments.
It was stated by Ayre that access to archived articles would be made available to readers. Calvin Ayre commented on the departure, “I didn’t invent online gambling but I saw its potential early enough to help shape the industry in ways that allowed it to emerge from the shadows into the mainstream. My support for Wright’s vision is intended to realize a similar Cambrian explosion of innovation that will leave this world a better place than I found it.”
