A Trader’s Guide to Modern Money, with Siddharth Sthalekar

In this episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie isjoined by Siddharth Sthalekar! Sid has lived on both ends of money. He ran a major equity derivative and algo trading desk in India, then walked away from finance to explore community led, trust-based economics and later returned to build new infrastructure for distributed finance through Sacred Capital. If you have ever wondered why markets feel emotional, why “being right” can still lose you money, or how to protect your buying power when currencies swing, this conversation gives you a clearer mental model. It also covers what DeFi gets right today, where it is still fragile, and why stablecoins are one of the most useful building blocks so far. Sacred Capital is building modular reputation infrastructure for micro networks, including tools like reputation libraries and a reputation vault designed to help communities define culture and carry reputation across contexts.  Check out Sacred Capital here: www.linkedin.com/company/sacred-capital/Learn more about Sid here: www.linkedin.com/in/siddharth-sthalekar-143a8113/ Watch all episodes of the Ways to Wealth Podcast here: www.eccuity.com/podcasts #web3 #defi #stablecoins #economics #investing #wealth #nzd #currency #bitcoin
