The Antigua based entrepreneur, Calvin Ayre, who calls Bitcoin Cash the real Bitcoin, is to build a luxury holiday resort on the Carribbean island but it will be solely for those who can afford its hefty price tag, and according to Ayre, they must preferentially pay in BCash, the currency he himself and Roger Ver have a big stake in and an interest in seeing succeed.
Could this be a gimmick to get BCash up and running as a useable currency and see it start to shift some volume? Time will tell, but I think Mr Ayre knows that his crypto will be under big pressure this year from Litecoin, especially now that Abra, the Singapore based wallet and exchange has listed Litecoin as one of its core currencies along with Bitcoin for use as a derivative.
Ayre, who runs the BODOG gambling and casino group said the resort will not be an all inclusive resort but will in fact be a world class resort for wellness seekers seeking fun and emcompassing and embodying all that Antigua and Barbuda has to offer but also will be available to local residents to use, keeping mindful of representing all that the islands have to offer: preserving culture, history and attractions, as well as benefitting the broader economy. The resort includes a fitness/wellness centre, spa, bars, restaurants, a casino and convention centre.
It appears Mr Ayre is quite bullish on BCash and may already have a Lambo or two. Is he counting his chickens a tad early lording BCash and dismissing Bitcoin?
This still would not make me want to invest in BCash. Ver and Ayre are a couple of shady creeps.
Me neither!
