Guy is answering chat questions talking about the poker market, Amaya monopoly,etc..
Just figured I'd share if anyone is bored and wants to hear what a CEO of an American citizen accepting poker site has to say.

He said Winning was going to do deposits & payouts with Bitcoin in a few weeks.
All depends on the streamer and if they have it setup for archiving. If this gets archived it would probably be found here:Quote:

He said he will do a write up blog on this over on Americas Cardroom website sometime in the next few days and will be doing Q&A streams like this during future events with "The Cage".
Sorry, I missed it. Not interested in the sanitized blog version posted to ACR as much as I wanted to hear a CEO multitasking -answering chat, video, watching tournament.Quote:

You would get closer to unvarnished, stream-of-consciousness honesty. Not the CEO measured answers.
What do you think about his Bitcoin announcement? Happened precisely as the tournament ended. He cut his Bitcoin comments short to wrap up tourney and broadcast.
I listened to a lot of it while playing a session and he mentioned bitcoin a few times throughout the broadcast. He said they are testing bitcoin cashouts right now and hopes they will be live in a few weeks.Quote:

Dude is streaming again at the same link today at 4pm if anyone cares. I doubt I will watch any of cause it's NFL Sunday obv.
I am surprised that none of these US-facing rooms are taking bitcoin at this point. Why not? It's less illegal to do that than accepting credit cards and miscoding the transactions.
The fact that a bitcoin poker room currently exists shows that there is a market for it, and poker players in the bitcoin community are, as a whole, pretty bad. (I'm excepting the existing poker players who later got into bitcoin.)
If I wasn't afraid of going to prison for it, I would totally start up a bitcoin payment processing service for online poker and pitch it to all of the sites.
If Bovada offered bitcoin that would be amazing.
They have been saying a Mac client is a couple months away since 2013.Quote:

There is a LoL thread about it on 4.
I may finally start playing there between 27% rakeback and the Sit and Crush but it won't be on one of my Mac's anytime soon.
Didn't see there was a thread about this, but this guy makes Micon seemed focused.
LOL! His attention span is horrible. He starts talking about something and reads chat the entire time then jumps off what he does to talk to them then comes back to what he's trying to discuss for about 20 seconds then starts commenting on chat again.Quote:

Here is the first broadcast he did archived:

at the beginning of every radio show you brag about how this podcast has given away more in freerolls than any other podcast. false. donkdown gave away 10 bitcoins every week for like a year.
Donkdown doesn't give away any bitcoins.Quote:

Seals does, because it's a for-profit poker room. Huge difference.
I don't want to associate myself with any bitcoin poker rooms for legal reasons. Otherwise I would have started one a long time ago.
ehhhhhhhh.. i disagree. the coins were given away on seals, but given by donkdown.Quote:

Just to be clear Micon only gave that many coins away when BitCoin cost nothing.Quote:

Actually you will not go to prison. You rat out the sites after stealing millions from them, and in the process wreck thousands of players lives and futures, while hooking up with a cushy life in the witness protection program.Quote:

Calvinayre.com is absolute gold. I am only a recent follower. The insights and opinions offered appear absent any spin toward Bovada.Quote:

Which has caused me to wonder as the industry shakes out & consolidates....
What is Calvin Ayre's endgame?
I will tell you this. His model is what Amaya PokerStars is moving toward IMO. I think Bovada has hit it perfectly. He was way out in front of everyone else with his anonymous tables & sports book.
Do you think he might be acquired? What value other than his customer list is there at Bovada? Ayre's operation is prolly debt free.
I am guessing the WU development was strictly WU's initiative. Not Ayre playing nice. It is possible this is some heat from the Fed's. I don't know, but it's fun to think about.

Amazing how with 14.4 million in career poker money he's still relatively broke. Further proves how valuable the sponsorships were pre Black-Friday. You either were sponsored, or staked by someone who was sponsored that hit it big.Quote:
“I always worry about money. I have an expensive lifestyle, and three children. They are my first priority. So I am always worried about money. When I become a multi-millionaire I won’t worry about money, because I will put it to good use.”
He does always seem to bink a major tournament when he's totally down and out. Likely due to filing for bankruptcy/a multi-million dollar win in 2015.
He is online now. Going to be talking about bitcoin.
