What if everything you believed about money, freedom, and the American Dream… was a lie? Today Wall Street insider “Darkside,” a seasoned Wall Street veteran who began his career in 1989 on the floor of the Philadelphia Options Exchange at just 21 years old. With deep experience across major trading hubs including San Francisco and Chicago's CBOE, he has built and managed sophisticated equity and options trading operations for decades. He co-founded Dash Financial, one of the largest and most advanced algorithmic options execution platforms on Wall Street. After stepping away from traditional finance, he discovered Bitcoin in 2013 and fully transitioned into the Bitcoin space by 2019. Darkside is known for his raw, unfiltered insights into the inner workings of Wall Street, his deep technical understanding of derivatives, and his strong advocacy for sound money and personal sovereignty through Bitcoin. He currently educates the public through podcasts, Twitter Spaces, and speaking engagements—sharing hard truths about the financial system and how Bitcoin may be the only viable off-ramp. This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a financial red pill. We talk about: How Wall Street skims and rug-pulls the average investor daily Why homes, 401(k)s, and annuities are NOT assets—they’re traps The fiat Ponzi scheme no one in the media will talk about The setup for the biggest short squeeze in financial history Why Bitcoin is the only escape from the coming “Great Taking” This is the real story the financial elite don’t want you to hear. Unfiltered, uncensored, and brutally honest.
