Hey there 👋,
In my last email I said that Digital Asset Investor is over, and that I’m choosing freedom over assets.
Leaning fully into that, 2025 will be my last full year in business. I’m aiming for an April 2026 exit, aligned with officially leaving UK tax residency.
Earlier this year I was still thinking in old patterns. Multiple companies in Slovakia. Staying under the €50k VAT threshold. Registering as self-employed.
I don’t want any of that anymore.
I’m done with business.
I’ve closed my Discord. Shut down Whop. No future products planned. And LetterOperators will be sold. If you’re interested in a straightforward deal, just reply. We’ve built what I genuinely believe is the best AI workflow for newsletters in the business.
That also means I’m never touching client work again. No consulting, no services, no retainers, no “quick projects.” That chapter is closed for good.
So what comes next?
Poker. I’ll be playing the World Series of Poker Europe in Prague in March, and bankrolling myself for $500nl online cash games. For those into poker, I’m currently holding around 4bb/100 EV across tens of thousands of hands at 50nl–200nl Rush & Cash on GG.
Crypto. I’ll be buying near the bottom of the next cycle in the second half of 2027, the same way I approached this one.
And I’ll be riding my $TSLA ( ▼ 0.78% ) position into retirement.
Life gets very simple when you let it.
Here’s to a great 2026.
Cheers!
