Pixels. Coins. People

Hey—Armidas here. Welcome to Pixel & Coin (@pixelandcoin), a newsletter at the crossroads of fintech, crypto, and marketing/design. If you build, brand, or use money tech, you’re in the right place.

I’ve spent 18 years in marketing and 8 years in fintech/crypto, working across products that shipped, scaled, and sometimes surprised even us. One highlight: on one ICO project, our team raised $30M+ in a very short window. That experience—and the lessons from wins and misses since—shapes how I think about markets, growth, and storytelling in finance.

Because I want to go deeper. I’m here to learn in public, find like-minded people, and trade notes with founders, growth leads, designers, and anyone wrestling with how money moves. I’m also here to pressure-test ideas: what actually works in 2025, what doesn’t, and where the signal is hiding.

  • Operator-grade marketing know-how. Hands-on playbooks from high/medium/low-risk growth tactics, with clear guardrails and when to use each.

  • Real founder/operator interviews. Not just crypto or fintech—also power users in other industries. What problems do they face? What really moves metrics?

  • Regulation explainers by country. What companies exist, how they’re licensed, and what a builder or user needs to know—plain language, zero fluff.

  • Crypto that makes sense. No hype, no signals to “ape in.” Just clear breakdowns of what’s happening, why it matters, and who’s affected.

Cadence: Two meaty posts per week—one deep-dive or interview, plus one practical playbook/teardown. Occasional bonus notes if something urgent breaks.

  • Fintech & crypto founders who need clear go-to-market thinking.

  • Marketing & design leads who want crisp frameworks and examples.

  • Power users curious about how products are built, regulated, and adopted.

  • Skeptics who want substance over noise.

  • Clarity beats hype. If we can’t explain it simply, we don’t publish it.

  • Evidence > opinions. Tactics must tie to numbers, not vibes.

  • Design is distribution. Brand, UX, and narrative are growth levers.

  • Regulation is product. Your roadmap and your license are intertwined.

  • No investment advice. Ever. This is information and analysis only.

  • Comment with your experiences, counter-examples, and tools you love.

  • Reply if you want to be interviewed (or nominate someone).

  • Share this with one builder or marketer who’ll get value.
