👻 Ghostwriters Busted
From write for you to write as you. Plus goodbye Whop, and the week's news

Hey there 👋,
Seeing a paid newsletter listed on Flippa last week made me realise not having one of my own was a missed opportunity. I’m not writing two newsletters per week, but I’ve carved out a new tactical section of my weekly AI business update for Digital Asset Pro subscribers, where I share behind-the-scenes decisions and insights I wouldn’t post publicly.
Pro members also get access to all my previous products (online business, domains, crypto, and AI agents) now bundled into a single Notion manual, along with entry to my private Discord community. I used to offer this through Whop, and before that Skool, but it’s long overdue to bring it all together inside beehiiv.

🔒 Patey’s AI Biz Update
This past week, I’ve been running hard on two tracks—Letter Operators and AgentStacker—and they’re starting to overlap in ways I didn’t expect.
Both started as services. Both now feel like infrastructure.
With Letter Operators, we now manage over 200K emails a week running 14 newsletters. Our customers keep control of their beehiiv, grow through ad revenue, and get content that sounds like them—because it’s pulled from their real-world digital footprint and shaped by custom AI workflows.
We’re not trying to be another ghostwriting service. We’re trying to kill ghostwriting altogether.
This is content that’s remembered, not just generated.
At the same time, AgentStacker has taken off from its origins building an onboarding agent for a WordPress agency. What started as tailored AI experiences that walk new clients through onboarding, sync with internal ops, and generate reports has now evolved into a streamlined productized menu.
Both businesses now orbit the same principle: Replace clunky SaaS and human bottlenecks with lean agentic workflows that own delivery.
Here’s how that’s starting to look…

📈 Solana Leads On-Chain Meta
It’s been a bullish week across the board, with most tokens (outside the majors) up around 50%:
As I featured in the news section, the current narrative is Internet Capital Markets—financial markets moving fully on-chain, as outlined in Multicoin’s latest thesis. Solana is leading thanks to stronger on-chain metrics like daily active addresses and trading volumes in 2025.
The Solana ecosystem is expanding in two directions. Horizontally, it’s supporting more asset types, from memecoins to equities. Vertically, it’s capturing more financial services revenue.
And with NFTs, since I featured it last week, Gary’s Giraffe Tower has doubled from a 5 SOL floor to 10, and jumped from #12 to #5 on Tensor!
That said, I’m done trading. I’m just chilling in Strategy, letting my pension grow tax free and hassle free.
