🛠 Building vs Flipping Digital Assets

Hey there 👋

Bitcoin touches $120K. ETH finally woke up and broke out of its coma. Solana is steady in the $170s, I’ll be getting my Solana Seeker phone in the next couple of weeks.

It’s one of those moments where everything is trending in the right direction. But I’m not here to chase pumps.

I’m here to build something I can own. Something I can control. Something I can sell.

That’s why my main focus right now isn’t on token charts or domain auctions. It’s on the asset I’m building every day.

The digital asset most people overlook

Most people hear “digital asset” and think crypto or maybe premium domains. That makes sense. Those are liquid, tradeable, and sometimes explosive.

But there’s another class of digital asset that gets overlooked.

An AI-powered productized service.

When done right, it’s a machine. Built on workflows, not headcount. Easy to understand. Easy to buy. Easy to sell.

That’s exactly what I’m building with LetterOperators.

We run newsletters for founders, investors, and lean teams who don’t want to spend hours fiddling with content calendars or marketing fluff. They just want something sharp, useful, and sent every single week.

So we built the system.

One AI workflow.

One newsletter format.

One clear offer: Weekly Sends at $499/month.

No setup fees. No extra packages. No complexity. It runs smooth. It delivers.

And yes, it scales.

Why this matters now

You can feel something shifting in the market again. Crypto’s moving. AI isn’t slowing down. People are building, not just tweeting. That’s the sign.

But this time around, I’m not watching as a speculator. I’m participating as a builder.

I’m no longer trying to catch a 10x on some memecoin. I’m trying to create a business that can 10x in valuation. That’s where real wealth comes from. Not from lucky exits, but from repeatable infrastructure.

LetterOperators is that infrastructure.

It’s a product. It’s a service. It’s an AI enabled asset.

We recently moved the checkout process to SamCart. We now offer two weeks free on us. And we’re getting better at filtering out the wrong fits early.

I’m not in a rush to scale for vanity. I’m here to build something that lasts and exits clean.

Where everything intersects

I still track domains because they’re digital land. I’m still watching Solana because it’s one of the most interesting chains for distribution. I’m still deep in AI because it cuts the cost of execution by 90 percent when used well.

But none of those are my core business.

They’re ingredients.

The dish I’m serving is a lean, AI-driven, revenue-generating system.

If you’re building something similar — a productized service, a lean SaaS, a newsletter brand, or anything that lives at the intersection of content, automation, and assets — I’d love to hear about it.

And if you want to see what we’re running under the hood, try it out at letteroperators.com. You’ll get two weeks free on us.

Cheers

Richard
