What does it mean to switch into a 10x mindset?
What does it mean to achieve things at a completely different rate, different level of impact?
It's a moment of identity shift, right?
And any direction that's taken, some subsection of what Bitcoin is to people has to be compromised.
And so how do we navigate that as a community?
And it's not just one homogenous community, right?
It's layers and bubbles and, you know, interactions and all these superset of communities.
Because we're trying to build technologies that last lifetimes.
All right.
We got coffee.
I don't need it.
In Costa Rica.
I don't even know if I can drink it.
I've already had a surf.
Nice.
How was it?
It was beautiful.
Oh, good.
The sunrise here is insane. And there was like 20 Bitcoiners out there.
Wow.
It was beautiful.
Oh, that's so fun.
Have you been down to the beach this morning?
No, not yet this morning. Had a nice sunrise meditation.
Oh, nice. Very Costa Rica.
Love that. Well, Amiti, welcome back to the show.
Thank you.
The first time you were on the show, you were an intern at Chaincode working on Bitcoin Core.
You were the first female contributor to Bitcoin Core, is that correct?
First identified.
Yeah. And then since then, you went into sort of coaching. So do you want to start off by just telling everyone what you did, how you got to where you are today before Way, and then we're going to get into Way.
Yeah, I guess my journey into Bitcoin Core was a series of passionate curiosities and good fortunes.
My previous job prior to Bitcoin life, prior to learning about it, was working at this services marketplace called Simbi.
And there it was all about trading and bartering goods and services.
And there, one of the users of the platform was like, hey, you guys have this virtual currency and the vibe that you have is so right.
You need to learn about Bitcoin.
So he came into our office and just straight up orange-pilled us.
Like, flash forward, I'm doing a scuba dive weekend and sitting on the sofa of a hostel, like, reading the Bitcoin white paper.
And my takeaway from that was not to understand what this thing is at all.
It was that the internet is really fast.
You can get a message out to all computers on the whole network in the entire world within 10 seconds.
I mean, that does sound insane.
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah.
We live in a very advanced world, but it compelled my curiosity.
And so for years after, I just kept being like, what is this thing?
How does it work?
Does it work?
How do I learn more?
How do I get closer?
And through that years of, you know, fading in and out, leveling up, getting closer, I
eventually became a Bitcoin core protocol developer.
And what really compelled me was the peer-to-peer layer.
the kinds of questions of you are a node in an unknown network that's adversarial,
but you need to collaborate with people in order to know what's the best chain,
tell them what your transaction is, things like that.
So how do you find peers to connect to?
How do you decide who to stay connected to?
How do you send out your transactions but maintain some idea of privacy?
Those kinds of questions are what really compelled me and led to a series of protocol contributions that I've made.
I'm proud of a lot of my contributions. I've changed how we broadcast transactions to make them more private.
The address manager is what Bitcoin Core uses to manage who other peers are.
And with collaboration with Martin, we rewrote the whole thing, changed the address protocol for the network at large.
You know, lots of improvements to long term thinking for security, privacy.
It was a ton of fun.
I love the intellectual challenge.
It's kind of it's a bit of an impossible challenge.
you're trying to make changes in a network where the question how many nodes are on this network
could be probably a series of academic research papers because one what's a node two what's the
network three if anybody could know that's a bad thing for the entire network
so anyways i had uh many years of having um an amazing time working in the peer-to-peer
layer of of bitcoin core and the bitcoin protocol um and and then somehow kind of organically over
time i got pulled into this other thing that now has a name called way and yeah we can dive into
that when you first discovered bitcoin as like a software engineer is your first instinct to be
Like, I'm going to see if I can break it.
Oh, yeah.
I think that was my first and my second and my third and my fourth.
And I think till this day, I still hold the question of, does this thing actually work?
Or what will break it?
What do you mean, does it work?
Because it does work.
So what are you sort of questioning?
Yeah.
Great question.
it clearly works for certain utilities at certain points in time right like there are many many
different ways in which bitcoin works um whether or not it will continue to work into future of
unknown size big question mark um whether or not it works for everyone in the way it needs to work
big question mark so to me the thing that makes bitcoin bitcoin the thing that makes it compelling
and interesting is, you know, we say censorship resistant, but it's really that no one can prevent
anyone else from participating in the network. And sounds fancy, but this is actually very
primitive. Like if I want your shirt and I say, here, take my bag, no one can stop that unless
they're physically here and they violently stop it. But in our digital age, and this transformed
into any tangible currency, if it was gold or if it was cigarettes in a refugee camp or whatever,
right? But in our digital age, people can just totally arbitrarily stop it. Even in America,
one of the countries where money works best in all of the countries in the world,
people's bank accounts get shut down on a daily basis, and the bank is not allowed to tell them
why. I've heard stories of people just like their bank account gets shut down. And then randomly,
six months later, there's a check mailed to like their parents' house in a different country
for the entire content of their bank account. Totally insane. And like, and the scary thing
is, and I think we'll probably start to see this happen, like, especially in the UK with their sort
of crackdown on hate speech, however you define that online is like, that's going to be another
reason people are going to get their bank account shut down. Like we saw it happen to Nigel Farage,
who's a totally polarizing figure.
Don't get me wrong.
But he's still leading the party that is most likely to be elected next election.
And he had his bank account closed down because of his opinions and his views.
That's really scary.
But when you say Bitcoin has to work for everyone,
are you really saying it has to be freedom tech for everyone?
That's the Bitcoin I'm interested in.
I think different people have different definitions of what Bitcoin is
and what success looks like.
But for me, the version of Bitcoin I care about are people who need money as a tool to achieve some ends, but for some reason aren't allowed that access, denied privilege of using this tool.
And I think that's really silly.
It's just a tool.
And so Bitcoin being an option for them is the version of Bitcoin that is meaningful to me.
with fiat money constantly debasing wealth preservation isn't optional that's why i

today. That is anchorwatch.com. I totally agree with that. When you say the sort of future threats
to Bitcoin, will it continue to succeed? What do you see as the biggest future threat?
Oh my gosh. So many. I think the conversation of the threat of quantum is really interesting.
and I'm not at all the most informed,
but several people who I consider very, very smart
who have been engaged in this
think that quantum is a very existential threat to Bitcoin.
I don't think that's the only one.
Personally, I look a lot at the social layer
and I think that in order for Bitcoin
to be globally accessible money that anyone can use,
we still have big changes that need to be made.
We have, there's privacy, there's security, there's scalability, there's access, you know, there's education, all these things.
And so conversation that talks about, for example, ossification or that social layer that prevents progress from being made in the name of preserving security, privacy, something like that.
I think those are really, really big threats to ensuring that this technology can actually be something meaningful that lasts for lifetimes.
Yeah, the quantum one, I think, is really interesting because I'm in no way a quantum expert.
But I'm not going to bet against human ingenuity here.
There's also billions and billions of dollars going into this.
I think at some point they'll get a quantum computer that's probably good enough to crack elliptic curve cryptography.
That's the one that's going to crack, isn't it?
Yes.
I mean.
Just checking.
amongst other things but but getting smashed by leaves um but if that does happen i also believe
that like there's going to be bitcoin developers like there's already bit 360 where they're
working on things that will be quantum uh resistant addresses the problem i have though is again on
the social layer what do we do with like old coins and that whole debate because like the the idea
that we go out and confiscate old coins because they could potentially be stolen by an attacker
is just like a non-starter for me like as soon as you break bitcoin's property rights this is
To me, that's Bitcoin failing anyway, regardless of any quantum attack.
I think it's going to get pretty spicy over the next few years.
Totally.
Yeah, it's a moment of identity shift, right?
And any direction that's taken some subsection of what Bitcoin is to people has to be compromised.
And so how do we navigate that as a community?
And it's not just one homogenous community, right?
It's layers and bubbles and interactions and all these superset of communities.
And I think Quantum is one example.
But my stance is I've taken a step back from being like,
what do I think is the single most threatening thing?
As a dev, I was looking at that,
like what's something really important, really threatening?
And I looked a lot at long-term security
and approached that through protocol development.
But now I'm kind of like, how do I support a wide array of intelligent thinkers who are engaged to move forth with their own personal, you know, hypotheses, theories of what is the biggest threat?
And help them be clear enough, solid enough, effective enough to put that into the shared space.
You know, it's really, I do have a very kind of decentralized ideology, fairly internalized from working on the technical P2P layer, but now looking at it in the social lens.
Like, I think that what we need as an ecosystem is competing ideas of what the biggest existential threat is and different visionaries and leaders who can share to others why this needs to be worked on, you know, people to work on it, implement robust solutions, people to challenge those robust solutions in thoughtful discourse.
and, you know, eventually unity as a community to adopt whatever over here, over there, over there.
Like, I think if we all focused on the same thing that we wouldn't be building the future that we need.
For sure.
Does that make sense?
It makes total sense.
So when, like, I do want to get into what you're doing now, but when did you decide to leave Core and why,
or stop contributing to Core?
Why did you decide that?
Yeah, totally.
Um, so, I do have a moment in time, which is convenient for being on a podcast.
But basically, 2024, I went to my first Oslo Freedom Forum, and I walked out of that week
in just this very energized confusion going, huh, I guess I'm starting a nonprofit.
it. And that was when I decided to temporarily pause coding and see what this nebulous thing was.
So the journey has been a lot longer. Before that, I had organically started coaching people
and doing that in addition to doing my full-time coding job. And that's kind of what led to,
when I was at the Oslo Freedom Forum, why people in the wonderful HRF community were like,
Like, hey, Amidi, everyone is talking about these problems.
These problems being things like the psychological toil, the challenges focusing on long-term solutions, burnout, these human aspects of working in open source, working on permissionless technology.
And the theme, the problems were everywhere.
Everyone's talking about it.
But they convinced me by saying that I was the only one who was talking about the solutions.
And at the time, my form of solutions was fairly organic and individual.
And it was in the form of coaching other people, other devs in the ecosystem.
And the shift for me was, okay, what would it look like for me to put my attention onto
designing scalable solutions, designing a social layer that helps us have more resilience,
support each other to pursue long-term meaningful changes. And that's what's led to where Way is at.
And it's been a series of learning. And this past year, I guess 2025, has been an incredible journey
of a lot of experimentation and a lot of traction.
And so that's just information that is informing
what 2026 is gonna look like where we gonna go So maybe it worth starting with the problems because open source development I obviously never done it but like I imagine it tricky because there not necessarily one direction that everyone taking I sure there sort of structures in there where people are
project managing and telling people like what they should be working on. Is there not? Is it
just literally choose your own adventure, go and write some code? I wouldn't say there's none,
but that is definitely not the norm. That's not even close to majority. It's mostly choose your
own adventure. And yeah, it's kind of wild. There's a burden of this solopreneur journey.
And, you know, as, and it goes beyond devs. I think it really applies to people who are
independently working in general, but specifically in this ecosystem, there's trends, you know,
But let's use the example of me as a dev and the grant ecosystem.
And this is the case for many, many other people.
But you have to figure out what you're working on.
You have to figure out how to work on it.
You have to find people to collaborate with.
You have to build your own team.
You have to advocate for yourself in terms of fundraising.
So you have to market yourself to a certain degree.
You have to advocate for your work.
So you have to socialize it and market your work as well.
In addition to the day-to-day challenges of you don't have a boss, when do you take time off?
Is going to a conference taking time off or is it not taking time off?
You know, how many hours a day is a normal amount of hours to work?
Like all of these different things.
So you really actually have to essentially run an entire organization as an individual.
But you don't think about it that way.
You're not a creator.
You're not somebody who's like, okay, let me spend 20% of my time doing business development.
What are those words?
You're like, I'm a dev.
I write code.
And you're working on some of the most complex systems.
Like as a software engineer, I've seen a lot of different projects in the world.
And the Bitcoin protocols, the complexity of them are, I don't know, top 5% of complex
technical projects.
Easy.
You know, it's no joke.
And so in addition to all of that as requirements, also like you either, if nobody mentored anybody, the ecosystem wouldn't grow.
So hopefully people are mentoring people.
And you obviously want to grow because life's no fun if you're not learning.
So then you have to do your personal development.
And this is just off the top of my head.
You know, like not to be, I don't want to be mean here to developers, but you don't necessarily think of developers as being excellent marketers.
They're incredibly different skills.
I'm sure some of them are great at it, but they're very different skills.
So like, how do you address all those problems then?
Are you going in and like teaching people about business development and marketing and how they can sort of sell their ideas?
Okay, great question.
How do we address the problems?
And, you know, I wish it was a silver bullet, but really the answer is in a layered way.
And before we get right there, I want to talk about one more thing that I find interesting on the problem front,
which is our research report has coined this term, the tyranny of permissionlessness.
And I think that's really interesting to focus on because the idea is that the same values,
the freedom to work on whatever you want, nobody can stop you, just do things, right?
these values that lead to these technologies that we're passionate about can be kind of oppressive
when applied without intention to human systems. And so this double-edged sword, this tyranny of
permissionlessness, I think is a very interesting way to put a label on something that we face as an
ecosystem challenge. And I think it's important to recognize it as an ecosystem challenge,
because if we only treat it as an individual challenge,
it's not that we can't address it at individual layers
and that there's value, like, and we do, you know,
Wei is doing that.
I've contributed to working on that.
But I think what's really important
is that we realize that this is a shared challenge.
And if we treat it as such,
there's so much that we can do to work on it.
And so what I'm doing and what Wei is doing
is hopefully part of the solution,
But the world I want to live in is a more robust, decentralized, permissionless ecosystem.
And it's this opportunity to radically rethink how work works.
We know that there's tons of companies that are business bureaucracy that exist in the world and people who show up to their job but don't actually do anything.
And there's a lot of ways that conventional structures don't work, whether it's for certain people or for certain businesses, for example.
And we have this opportunity to build an entire new way of working.
And we're seeing so much traction in that.
The grant ecosystem right now versus when I started contributing, like early 2019, is a completely different space.
In addition to the grant ecosystem, there's so many different, you know, like shops, like engineering shops, right?
Chaincode, Brink, Localhost, 2140.
So we're in a different and also onboarding programs.
There's programs, BitChalla, Bitcoin for open source,
blah, blah, blah.
It's really cool.
There's so much going on.
So anyways, I just kind of want to mention that looking at it at that ecosystem lens,
I think is the most powerful thing.
And now I'm happy to drill into what what way does and how we address that at different layers.
But I want to pause there.
Is this making sense?
It makes total sense.
So what's your sort of overall take on the grant ecosystem?
because there's obviously a few companies doing,
I'm sure there's more than I can name,
doing really good work.
There's OpenSats, there's Brink, there's HRF, Chaincode.
Like, have we got enough people funding this development?
Oh, if you want an answer to that question,
have you seen that report that, is it 1A, 1Z?
Yeah, they're great.
I've not seen the report, but they are great.
Well, they have a report
and they look at the funding ecosystem.
And I think that puts forward the information
of is there enough and uh if you ballpark it compared to any numbers of of like looking at
bitcoin and it's you know whether it's market cap or the amount of development fund compared to if
it was a company or anything like that it's a tiny fraction does that report say how many million go
to developers every year i think so i i don't remember off the top i mean i mean it's a two
$2 trillion project that these people are working on.
Like that should be.
And so if that was a company, how much would be spent on first off engineers, which is easier to quantify, but also for Bitcoin to succeed.
We need a lot more than engineers.
We need educators and builders and project managers and like all sorts of, you know, recruitment, like all these dimensions we have are real.
You know, so it's hard to make a claim that there is sufficient funding.
But I also think that funding is not the only issue.
And do you think, so from my understanding, the way these grants often work is sometimes there'll be sort of monthly payments to work on a project.
Sometimes they'll do long-term grants.
Like, is the structure of the grants sufficient?
Yeah.
Okay.
So there's a couple of things, you know, you mentioned.
So Brink, Chaincode, Localhost, 2140, these kind of blockstream, they have more of primarily employment models.
And a lot of them have in-person offices and additional elements that go to that.
Then there's the series of organizations that are primarily grant-oriented.
So HRF, Spiral.
I mean, Spiral also has an in-person aspect, but Spiral does a lot of grants, too.
uh so hrf opensat's obviously huge um you know so uh btrust is coming onto the scene
um so so the grants are are more like we give you x amount of money for y amount of time
you know one year is fairly standard but some are less some are longer and but one year even one year
which is great it doesn't give you that much security on what you're doing 100 i think that
Our research report gets into this, but I also personally strongly believe that there's a bit of a disincentive and I'm seeing it play out a lot because we're trying to build technologies that last lifetimes.
In order for Bitcoin to succeed, it better be going when I'm no longer on this planet.
That's the Bitcoin I want.
And not just Bitcoin, all these things, whether it's Nostra, whether it's other layers of Bitcoin, etc.
um so so in that context when you look at hey we're going to sponsor one year of work
it's a very narrow amount of time and the people who have done the the most meaningful changes the
biggest changes so someone who i respect immensely who is you know just my favorite is aj towns
and he has been contributing in this ecosystem for i don't know higher than i can count
But he, I've gotten the privilege to, you know, witness his expertise, his contributions up close.
And he will incubate research ideas for years.
I kid you not, three, four years before they actually see potentially, you know, there will be three, four years he's been working on something that doesn't actually make it to the GitHub repo.
um and i think that i mean i understand that the position of like giving out grants there has to be
like some evaluation of is this working but i think that giving year-long grants especially
to people who are later in their journeys is a bit of a disincentive and i see for example
research being deprioritized over things that are more tangibly observable such as prs and reviews
yeah that's that's really hard though i like i understand from the people who are giving the
grants out like why that's tricky because you need to see progress but like thinking is progress
and how do you kind of benchmark that and say yeah you're still hitting your goals or like it's a
very tricky thing to try and manage totally totally and yeah it's definitely not an easy challenge
um our our researcher uh in the report made the recommendation of basically doubling the amount of
time. So if you demonstrate that you did good with a year, then next time two, then if you
demonstrate that you did good with two, next time four, like et cetera, that was the recommendation
there. I also think there's a difference between like deliverables versus code. Just because you're
doing research doesn't mean that that should not have a deliverable, whether it's thoughtful posts
on delving or maybe it could be in a GitHub issue or it could be working groups. There are ways to
involve the community. And if you're working on a long-term research project, it is very important
that you involve people because if you're like, hey, I went in a hole and contributed,
I thought about it for five years and I came out and I have this really cool thing that might work
if your name or your pseudonym is Satoshi. But for 98% of the people, it's like, do you want to be
like just wake up one day and be like okay i need to spend the next six months reviewing something
that someone worked on for five years like that's very overwhelming and not very enticing you know
so collaborating with thoughtful contributors who have domain expertise is is a very important part
of project success and so there's a difference between isolation versus long term you know yeah
that makes sense so so what kind of projects are you working with because this isn't all just core
developers, is it? No, definitely not. I think this past year, Way has supported over 35 open
source projects, which are all in the Bitcoin and friends, like Bitcoin and Noster ecosystem,
which is kind of wild. I definitely can't name them off the top of my head, but
it is shocking. And I think it's really important for people to realize
how many different projects are in this open source permissionless thing. Like even in Bitcoin
itself. There's Bitcoin Core, but even other Bitcoin like implementations, whether it's BDK
or Rust Bitcoin. And then you have the whole school of lightning. And then you have additional
projects that might be a bit more, you know, researchy, but also relevant. There are findings.
And then there's Noster and a whole slew of projects over there. So there is a lot. And I
think that's something that I very much want people to hear because I have the good fortune
of getting exposure to these things,
but it's funny.
I feel like in a way,
it's kind of like five-year-olds playing soccer
or football for the international audience.
And everybody's just kind of like running to the ball,
the ball being Bitcoin Core.
But in order for Bitcoin or even Bitcoin Core to succeed,
for example, like research layers as well, right?
There's people who have made such meaningful contributions
to the Bitcoin protocol
who have never touched Bitcoin Core code.
Um, and, and yeah, there's mailing list or delving is really, I think a much more thoughtful
discussion place these days.
Um, and yeah, there are so many different ways to contribute.
Uh, and, and so you have to, you have to, if you're interested in understanding the
space, you have to make sure to put some energy into mapping the field, not, not just staring
at the soccer ball.
and if you're interested in doing that I think a good place to look is for example if you go to
Sat Viral's page, HRF's page, OpenSat's page and you see the projects they support
they have these huge lists of projects that they're supporting and I think that's high signal.
What if you could lower your tax bill and stack Bitcoin at the same time?
Well by mining Bitcoin with Blockware you can. New tax guidelines from the Big Beautiful Bill
allow American miners to write off 100% of the cost of their mining hardware in a single tax year.
That's right, 100% write-off. So if you have $100,000 in capital gains or income,
you can purchase $100,000 of miners and offset it entirely.
Blockware's mining as a service enables you to start mining Bitcoin right now without lifting a
finger. Blockware handles everything from securing the miners, to sourcing low-cost power, to
configuring the pool, they do it all. You get to stack Bitcoin at a discount every single day,
while also saving big come tax season.
Get started today by going to mining.blockwaresolutions.com forward slash WBD.
Of course, none of this is tax advice.
Speak to your accountant or tax advisor to understand how these rules apply to you.
And then head over to mining.blockwaresolutions.com forward slash WBD
and you'll get one week of free hosting and electricity with each hosted miner purchased.
Do you wish you could access cash without selling your Bitcoin?
Well, Ledder makes that possible.
They're the global leader in Bitcoin-backed lending
and since 2018 they've issued over $9 billion in loans with a perfect record of protecting client
assets. With Ledin you get full custody loans with no credit checks or monthly repayments,
just easy access to dollars without selling a single sat. As of July 1st, Ledin is Bitcoin only
meaning they exclusively offer Bitcoin-backed loans with all collateral held by Ledin directly
or their funding partners. Your Bitcoin is never lent out to generate interest.
I recently took out a loan with Ledin. The whole process was super easy. The application took me
less than 15 minutes and in a few hours I had the dollars in my account. It was really smooth.
So if you need cash but you don't want to sell Bitcoin, head over to ledin.io forward slash WBD
and you'll get 0.25% off your first loan. That's ledin.io forward slash WBD.
So help me understand what you actually do. So if you're a Bitcoin company reached out to you,
they're working on something in, I don't know, eCash, for example.
Like what do you do when you go in and you talk to them?
What does coaching actually look like?
Okay. Yeah. All right. What is way? Great question.
So way is it's executive coaching for freedom tech builders.
What does that mean?
It's executive coaching is a little bit of an umbrella term.
What we're focused on is helping people build things that matter
and do it for the long term.
That's the goal.
And this past year, we've run a lot of different experiments and programs and projects, etc.
And what's really gained the most traction is this coaching thing.
And so what we're focusing on is doing it two ways.
One is individual coaching, and the other is group.
So what is coaching?
What does that mean?
We look at the models of the world around.
if you look at anyone who's excellent at what they do, whether it's an athlete or a musician
or, you know, a startup like entrepreneur executive or Oprah, like anybody, they all have a coach.
Because when you reach a certain point of excellence, having somebody else focus on,
okay what can get you that last mile so that you can focus on actually doing it is well known Like what athlete that is a superstar doesn have a coach That silly right
And so that's the aspect. It's getting systemic support, having coaches focus on like,
here are shared problems and here are shared solutions so that the individuals can focus
on building the thing that matters. And it all starts with, you know, whether you're doing it
in an individual format, whether you're doing it in a group format, it all starts with identifying
what is the single most thing, single most important thing that matters to you right now.
And having support shifting into that long-term mindset is extremely meaningful when we live in a
world. I mean, everyone in open source, there's a hundred million directions pulling you.
And everybody in the modern day has a hundred million directions pulling you. We come out of
hustle culture. And so really spending time to create intentionality of like, hey, this month,
this year, what is the dent I want to make that is going to make, whether it's Bitcoin Core,
whether it's my NOSTER project, whether it's a research project, what's the dent that is really
going to improve our collective knowledge or our collective tooling um what's the one i want to
focus on and having that clarity already is such a big deal and then the next step is how do i focus
on it and and what are the if there's someone who's working on like open source software right
now who who wants to use way how do they actually do it do they do they pay for the services this
like how does it work yeah totally um so we've run we've gotten some grants the kind support of
hrf and opensats um and we have run programs that are open to freedom tech builders um we have a
proof of work model um strongly believe that uh like i personally the reason i care a lot about
this is kind of what we were talking about, that individual ingenuity and having people put forth
their own ideas. Like, I think that what we need to succeed as a space is a diversity of thought.
You know, I come from being the first female and the gender diversity thing has always been very
in my face. And I'm passionate about that. Also very passionate about geographic diversity.
When I started in Bitcoin Core, there were zero contributors from Asia, Africa, and South America.
And so I'm very glad that that's not the case anymore.
But if we're working on a global project, it should be global.
Duh.
But really, really what we need is a diversity of perspectives and a diversity of thought.
And that's the hardest thing.
That's much harder to measure than what we look like.
But that's the critical thing that I believe leads to the security resilience success of these projects.
And so because of that, we've gone with this proof of work model of if you're making contributions that matter, we want to help you do it well and do it for the long term.
So our funding source is we're trying to get it more independently.
And, you know, if any donors out there want to contribute to supporting the good people working on open source infrastructure, hit us up.
but that's why I strongly believe
that I don't want to reinforce systemic biases.
I want to challenge them.
Yeah.
Can we talk about diversity?
Because like for some reason
that's become almost like a dirty word,
especially when Bitcoin is.
Dangerous to use on a pod.
But like everything you say makes sense.
Like it's a global project
that should absolutely be contributors from Asia,
from South America, from Africa,
from all over the world.
Like that's just obvious to me.
But why do you think it's become
such a sort of hot button topic?
Especially, I don't want to get into the whole Notts Core stuff, but the Notts side of that, I've been really pushing the problem with diversity in Core and things like this.
You know, I can't really comment on speaking to that perspective. I'm not very familiar with it. I'm hardly on Twitter, things like that.
But I can talk to you about my work at the protocol level in Bitcoin Core, and I think that contextualizes the way I approach it.
So I worked a lot on security, right? And one of those aspects is in an adversarial environment, you can only connect to a certain amount of peers. Because if I connected to everyone, that would require so much resource that you no longer could run Bitcoin on a Raspberry Pi, or you'd have to have a supercomputer, maybe that cost is prohibitive, right?
So limited amount of slots, adversarial environment.
You need to choose.
We make eight full relay outbound connections by default,
two additional block relay only, so 10.
You have 10 slots from this entire world of Bitcoin nodes.
And how you choose is very important.
If you choose wrong,
you could actually not be connected to the main network.
You could actually be eclipsed and connected to one entity
that you perceive as 10 different entities.
So very big risk, right? Or very big consequence, I should say. And you want to mitigate the risk
because the consequence is so high. How do you mitigate the risk? You know very little about
your peers. What we do from a purely technical point of view is we try to get as much diversity
as possible along as many different indices as possible. So we take every piece of information
we can get. We look at, you know, IP address range. We look at what network are you on?
When was the last ping time, response time? What kinds of information are you advertising or not?
We get our hands on any piece of information possible and then try to maximize diversity
or variability, whatever you want to call it, along each one of these. And this is the strategy
for security. This is the strategy for privacy. Because you don't want to be connected to 10 nodes
in one server room. If you are, that is an eclipse. That is a risk of, and it could be an eclipse
attack if it's more intentional and targeted. If we do that at the network level, you could have a
partition risk, which would be game over. If we had two separate Bitcoin networks, I mean, I really
think that would be game over. So that's what we look at is we try to maximize variability.
And so, yeah, okay, this word diversity comes very loaded, but I come from the background of
having a very technical view on it. And genuinely, if you go to the GitHub repo of Bitcoin Core right
now and you type in diversity, you'll see a bunch of PRs that are probably mostly in the P2P layer
that have diversity and security,
like probably in the title,
a couple of which are mine,
but like others too, I'm pretty sure.
I mean, I haven't checked this.
I'm just kind of guessing,
but I feel fairly confident
claiming something like this.
So I think that it's,
I mean, and you know,
any good thing can be hijacked.
Any well-intentioned thing
can be transformed into something else.
And so I think if you're like,
we must have diversity
and what that means is quota
like that can lead to undesirable consequences um so how i look at it i mean you know going back
to like what way does and looking at the individual um layer and and and this relates to my own
journey what i saw is that a lot of times we we have we see these experiences where
Okay, let me talk about an individual, someone I respect very much.
Her name is Stratosphere.
She's a Bitcoin Core contributor in South Asia.
And she came onto the project through Summer of Bitcoin
and contributed straight out the gate to Bit324.
Super cool project, right?
What was 324?
Ah, end-to-end encryption.
Okay.
So awesome for security, privacy,
something that really moved the needle in the Bitcoin protocol.
and so she demonstrated incredible in like just talent passion you know ability to execute
but after after that project she was sponsored to work on bitcoin in full time and after there was
really a lull in productivity if you looked at it externally you could wonder what is she doing
she's not doing anything you don't see any work products but if you zoomed in and looked closely
she was showing up every day. She was engaging very deeply and technically, working really hard.
But the problem was that she would review a PR and she would have these amazing notes
in a different place. Those notes weren't translating into leaving the review comment.
So why was she doing it that way? Right. So first was she didn't realize she was doing that.
You know, it was just kind of the, oh, I'll review the PR.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'll get to that.
But then the next PR caught her attention and she was doing the deep work.
And so she was one of my first coachees.
I think it was before I used the word coaching.
You know, and I saw it wasn't technical mentorship that she needed.
She was already incredibly badass problem solver.
It wasn't some technical tool.
what she needed was a mirror held up to help her realize that she wasn't hitting the green button
and leaving the review comments and when it was you know there was a very specific period of time
that we were working together and in this role of what I now call coach I held up that mirror
it showed her like hey dude you're you're not actually doing that last step which you know is
less work yeah she was just like oh my goodness and once she saw that she couldn't unsee it
and and and broke that pattern and so why why is she doing that i mean i can comment at a higher
level of i've seen that not just with her but with myself and i've seen that with many other women
and for some reason women have this tendency to to overthink um before like it's not oh my god
you're not doing the hard work. It's not, oh my God, you don't have the technical engagement.
It's this level of hindrance before you post the review comment. And that is a critical difference.
You know, and I've seen other trends too. Working, I've seen this huge trend with Africans
where they will not submit the funding application. Like, and you go, why? And I think that the person
or the lens that could best answer why would be some historian or something like that who could
talk about colonialism and the entrenched systems that still run the world and how that shows up in
individuals and how that translates into individual Africans feeling intimidated to ask for funding.
And it's not like they're sitting there like, no, I'm not going to ask. They're like, oh, I'm just
going to do a little bit more proof of work. Oh, once I have a bit more in my repertoire, then I'll
be in a good position to ask like they don't realize that hey it's been six months and no
one's paying you and you've done amazing work until someone helps them realize I saw you do
your talk at the Africa Bitcoin conference and you asked the question who here is nervous about
like asking for money and every single hand went up so like clearly that's a real problem yeah and
I wonder if that's just down to like valuing their their own work yeah I mean it's hard for me to
comment on those aren't my areas of expertise of like really why it happens but i see that there
are these trends and there are certain patterns that hit certain groups of people harder and i
can comment a bit easier just anecdotally on what i've seen with women and what i've seen with
africans but this is true for everybody we all have the things we're good at and the things we're
hard like that are harder for us and that's why that that coach can really help you see the thing
that is actually a small amount of effort,
but a huge amount of gains.
I need a coach.
We all do.
One sec, sorry.
I'm just seeing how we're getting on for time
because I know Alex wants us to start at 9.30,
but we're doing good.
No, start at 10.
Oh, okay, cool.
We're great.
Okay.
So, yeah, I think we all need a coach.
And yeah, I mean,
so do you want to get into some of the mental models
that have been really cool and takeaways?
Can we go on a different tangent first?
Sure, sure.
Because when we've been speaking
over the last couple of months,
you were telling me that you've gone down a kind of neuroscience rabbit hole.
Oh, great. That's the same thing.
Okay, perfect. So what's the rabbit hole? What have you gone down?
Oh my God, so many. All right.
And why did it start? Like what made you sort of start looking into this?
Oh, personally, neuroscience is just very fascinating to me.
I have this naive, optimistic lens that it's the source code of like how we work,
of what is a good life, you know, and I have a very technical nerdy brain. And so neuroscience,
I'm like, does it hold all the answers? Um, does it? I mean, I'm hoping, um, but yeah, so,
so I've learned a lot about neuroscience. Um, and obviously I'm not a neuroscientist. So anything I
share comes with that strong disclaimer, but with way we do have a neuroscientist that we work with.
And so my claims have been reviewed by someone who does, you know, has had real world experience.
And I think how I'd like to approach this is talking through one example of applying to ourselves, like, how to work on something that matters.
So I want to share something that came up from a OS reboot, which is our group coaching protocol that happened this year.
and then work through, I mean, you got a little glimpse of the 10x framework,
and then talk about the neuroscience of that as well.
So kind of like do the full stack.
How's that sound?
Okay, cool.
So earlier this year, Wei ran a OS reboot, as I mentioned,
group coaching protocol for a group of Nostra devs.
The lead facilitator of that was Noemi Boyer,
who is the CEO of Democracy Labs here in Costa Rica.
extraordinary human being. We are so lucky that she has shared her knowledge, her passion,
her expertise with us. And what she came in with was very, you know, out the gate, very strong,
was this idea that 10x is easier than 2x. This is based on a book by someone whose name I don't
remember, but the mental model is really interesting. So our natural mode, passionate
people trying to help the world do something better, is to find those 2x improvements. How can
I be more effective? How can I achieve these goals quicker or better? Whatever, right? 2x
linear thinking, that's very natural to us. And the metaphor for that is building a faster
airplane. We already have an airplane. It's taking people where they got to go. We want to make it
faster. How do we do that? Let's innovate. Let's experiment. Let's build, make a faster airplane.
The idea of switching into a 10x mindset requires stepping back, which is a very uncomfortable
process. And one of the key reasons having external support is valuable. Stepping back and going,
what does it mean to switch into a 10x mindset? What does it mean to achieve things at a completely
different rate, different level of impact? And the metaphor here is stepping back and saying,
I don't need a faster airplane. I need a rocket ship. And the concept is that
having a 10x mindset is actually easier than having a 2x mindset because good luck making
a plane go as fast as a rocket this isn't like iterating it's completely rebuilding yes it's
exponential rather than linear thinking so i'm gonna give the example of um pablo f7z i think
he goes by on the internet um do you know him he's like the nostrdev nostrdev another extraordinary
He builds like one project and Nostra every week or something.
Right, exactly.
Yes, that's great.
Also is on Waze board, but also participated as a dev in this reboot that Noemi was the lead facilitator in.
And got exposed to this 10x mindset, you know, this concept.
and he set a 10x goal to you know he was his context was that he was at the computer screen
all of the time you know he uh was saying that sometimes he would tell his family he's asleep
but then actually be working because there's too much to do you know like are you kidding me have
you seen the world we in there way too much to do how can you turn off the computer let alone your brain which is something that i think many of us share this experience of you know And so he was probably sleeping four hours a night just like oh my God got to go
And, oh, which quick tidbit, our research finding had a kind of disturbing finding that
as seniority increased of contributors in the ecosystem, the sustainability decreased.
Because they're not sleeping.
They're not paying any attention to their own health.
Oh my God.
Yeah, exactly.
which like oh boy that was came out of like an academic research you know interview anyway that's
a really weird thing though because it's so obvious that you need sleep to be productive
but it's so easy to fall into the trap of being like i've got too much to do i'm going to sacrifice
sleep 100 100 so pablo one of the many who's found himself in this situation making amazing
things that people are using right leading a lot of expanding our communal minds as to what is
possible, but his 10x goal was to spend four hours a day in front of a computer while having
stronger day-over-day productivity, stronger day-over-day impact than before. That was his
10x goal. And he is well on his way to achieving it. So how he has done this is he's built this
incredible AI tooling, which is a series of autonomous agents that are essentially working
as a team. You hire somebody who's the project manager, you hire somebody who's the designer,
you hire different devs who have different approaches, and this one's going to focus on
fuzz testing and that one, whatever. And so they are all interacting with each other to challenge
each other to iterate. And there's touch points of human interaction. I think he also has trained
different AIs to model his own mind. And he actually called this project 10X after this
mental framing, which is mind-blowing. And yeah, I love this story because he's living a richer life
while achieving more.
And I really believe that when you're aligned,
when you're internally aligned
and you bring that into the external world,
that's where real impact occurs.
So the idea of spending four hours at your computer
instead of 10 or whatever he was doing is that you spend-
10, I think that's an underestimation,
but we don't know.
But is that you're spending the hours
when you're in the right state of mind
to actually do work rather than just sitting there
because you feel like you need to be sitting there.
Yeah, I mean, you know, in order to really dive into his experience, we would need to summon him. But I think there's one element of we all find ourselves. Okay, so flow state, the research shows high achievers across all fields of study, whether it's physical domains or more intellectuals, whether it's, you know, musicians or mathematicians or athlete, etc.
But flow state, high performers, top less than 1% of their fields, do not achieve more than three to four hours of flow state per day.
Which contextualized that to what we as knowledge workers think we're supposed to be spending in front of a computer.
And I know that when I started measuring my focus time, I was so embarrassed.
I didn't know this fact about three to four hours.
and I was so embarrassed that I was like working between two to four hours a day.
And I, at the time I was like, I am never going to tell anybody about this.
Like, oh my God, they're going to think that my imposter syndrome isn't a syndrome.
It's real. I am an imposter.
Like that was what was going through my mind, you know?
But I feel like so like I'm the exact same.
Like there's no way that I can be productive for eight hours a day.
Like my, I think I've got a bit of ADHD as well, which doesn't help.
but like there's times where I'll sit down in front of my computers to do work and I'll start
doing something. I'm just like, I can't do it now. Like I'm just not in the right state of mind.
I'll have to go and like sit and read and have a coffee or whatever, come back. And then you can,
then like, sometimes you'll sit down and it's just like, you're on. Totally. And I don't know,
the thing that I don't know is how you know you're in the right state of mind when you're going to do
some work. Totally. Yeah. So, I mean, I think that the research around flow state is very relevant
here. And there's a couple of different attributes of like, how do you know if you're in flow? And
there's also how do you set yourself up for it? And so things of like, how do you know you're in
flow are things that are probably relatable, like everybody's experienced it somewhere,
which is like total absorption in the activity at hand. It's intrinsically rewarding. You're
kind of having a good time, but you're also convinced that there is these feedback loops
of like, I'm getting somewhere. There's a dilation of time. Like you have a loss of sense
of how does time work right now.
So those are indicators that you're in flow.
And I know them when it's happening,
but it's when I'm like, if I'm not on my computer,
it's like, I don't know whether to be like,
right, now's the time.
You're in a really good state of mind.
Go and do some work.
Totally.
So how do you set yourself up for success, right?
And this, like, based on my understanding of the research,
you know, there's a couple of different things.
Like one is strong intent.
Before you enter the block of time,
you should know exactly what you're working on
and what you're working on is also like feeds into how do you know if you're making progress on it
so that should be identified before you enter the work block that's one another one is removing
distractions flow state is really interesting it's actually in the research it's called
exploitation mode I think that's the neuroscience lens of the way it interacts with like your
hormones and chemicals and neurotransmitters and things like that. It's called exploitation mode.
It is not meant to be sustained for extended periods of time. So this is the critical piece
that I think we're all missing. Those other ones, like know what you're doing, remove your
distractions. Like, okay, like we kind of know whether or not we're doing it, we know.
The one that I find most interesting and most difficult is to recover effectively.
And what does that mean? It means some tangible things like to re-up your glucose stores, you need to eat food. Hydration is really relevant, like those kinds of things. But the critical piece that is central to motivation is dopamine.
and for those of us who have ADHD,
which I strongly believe is overrepresented in our space,
but dopamine is relevant to everybody.
And in order to replenish your dopamine stores,
you need to let up on yourself.
The metaphor I like is like,
you can't refill gas while your car is still going.
And this is an oversimplification,
but the best, but it's relevant as a mental model to think of dopamine as a limited supply
because it's kind of like rate limited. And if that, if you have too much or too little,
it's actually like psychosis or schizophrenia or, you know, it's good that it's rate limited.
So, so thinking of it as a fixed supply. And so flow state feels good, right? I'm productive.
I'm having a good time. I'm focused. Right. And so it's very natural to have that addictive
quality of it. I'm in it. Let me just keep going. I don't know when it'll come back. Like,
let me get every drop of it that I can get. This is really natural. This, do you, do you relate to
that experience? I mean, yeah, me too. Right. So, so truly though, if you want to encourage more
flow state in your life, ending it well, saying I'm done now. And, and not, I have nothing left
in me, but like, I've done a good amount. I'm going to stop there. I'm going to feel good. And,
and for some people, there's so much guilt driven development in this space, uh, not just with
developers, but like with everybody in this ecosystem that, um, some I've gotten the feedback
that like feeling good about yourself,
like that's impossible.
So I was like, okay,
what if we just acknowledge that progress was made?
They're like, okay, that maybe I could do that.
But like closing it, saying I've made progress,
saying, wow, I'm happy with that progress
if that's possible.
And stopping and saying,
I'm not gonna continue right now.
I'm gonna come back later.
That's really the way that you can let up
on trying to squeeze every drop of dopamine out
and giving yourself that mental rest
is going to help you regenerate
not just dopamine,
but also norepinephrine
and other neurotransmitters
that are necessary to that process
to help bring more flow state
into your future life.
I also think we need-
Also exercise and hang out with people.
Well, so I'm pretty good at exercising.
And the thing that I think we need to normalize
is having a nap.
Like a 20 minute nap in the afternoon
honestly makes me so much more productive.
There must be a reason Google put like sleep pods in their offices.
Like there must be some science behind that.
But you can, I cannot do 20 minute naps.
I'm just out for like two hours and I'm like, oh.
Oh, see, if I sleep two hours, I'm dead.
No, that's what happens to me if I try.
You just got to set an alarm, Amiti.
Come on.
You don't think I try that?
But the thing that I found, again, I think this is because I've got ADHD,
is I have like an office at home where I do all the podcasts from.
Works great for the podcast.
I cannot work in there.
And I think it's because there's like multiple screens.
I need to be like on just a single laptop so I can't get distracted.
And I like to go out and like work at a coffee shop or something where there's other people around.
Even if I'm not talking to them, I just don't like being completely isolated on my own.
Totally. Totally. I mean, I love it.
I think you know what works for you.
And that's what's really important.
And each of us finding like what our own cadence is.
And then also the fun thing is what works for us changes over time.
and which goes back into why it's so helpful to have some additional support for like coaches and
and people who are are learning the research so you don't have to I mean that's part of it my
journey it's like the way I have fallen into nerding out about all of this was as an independent
worker working in my room alone caring deeply about these projects wanting to be more effective
I was like oh how do I be effective and then I took on an entire other job of like researching
learning, thinking, project managing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And part of building ways,
like, like, if you just want to do your job really well, and your job is building these freedom
technologies, working in a permissionless ecosystem, and stewarding our decentralized
future, I want you to have the support to do that. So going back to kind of ecosystem vision,
and grant, like the role of grantors and grants in it. So we have some shops that are like,
like, you know, more like full-time employment. But I also see this decentralized vision of the
future. And if you look at funders like HRF, OpenSats, et cetera, as verticals in that space,
you have as an individual, this amazing opportunity where the work you're doing is
unentangled from the people who are offering financial sustainability. At a normal job,
if the people don't want to pay you to do it, you still, you can't continue doing the work.
You know, your access is removed.
But in open source, it's different.
And in decentralized development, it's very different.
And so you might, you know, maybe one of those orgs is not aligned with the way you're approaching things.
You have other options.
And that's really cool.
You can mix and match according to what suits you and what aligns with your point of view.
And so if we look at those as verticals, the world I want to see, my vision of our decentralized supported future,
is that we have a lot more horizontals.
And these horizontals are things that would be comparable to stuff you find at a company, especially if done well.
You know, like having an engineering manager that's a good manager is amazing for helping you grow the size of project you're able to take on.
Or having, you know, off-sites are wonderful for reminding yourself that you're human, you know.
And so having more horizontals.
And an example of this horizontal that has existed is the Legal Defense Fund.
You know, and they had a proof of work model.
If you've done meaningful contributions and you're under threat because of this legal concern, then we're here to support you.
And way is another horizontal.
It's executive coaching of if you've done things that matter, we believe in you and want to help you do it for the long term effectively.
And so based on this proof of work that you have, you get access to executive coaching.
and that's another horizontal.
And I want to see many, many more.
I think there's additional legal support
that people in our ecosystem could really use.
There's additional mental health.
Like, I mean, so many people really want
actual proper mental health support
and Way is not that,
but I would love to see people do it.
I would love to see people do something
that directly competes with Way.
I think that's a sign of success
because we're in a decentralized ecosystem,
not in a, you know,
I want to run a company and have the market share.
No, we should have alternatives.
If somebody doesn't align with Way's approach, they should have alternatives.
And this is really critical because as individual contributors who are working in unaffiliated
ways, that individual human ingenuity is what I see for a robust, resilient, long-term
ecosystem.
And financial sustainability is a very critical aspect, but there's so much more to sustainability
than just financial.
and so having that kind of multi-dimensional support and and that's the world i i want to
live in and that's the world where i think it loops back to what you're saying because
you figured out things about the way you work like me at this point in time it's hard to imagine me
going back to an office because i work terribly in coffee shops i listen to everything everywhere
i'm like a little puppy you know see i work terribly in silence exactly and so a bit of
background noise helps me zone out that's just like my white noise to work in and i can't have
headphones and listening to something that distracts me but if there's just white noise
i'm good that's awesome i love that you know what works for you and so iterating on that you know
and i think we can all that's why it's there is no one size fits all i mean that would be so cool
but uh also it would probably make a less interesting life that's true i do have an
eight hour whale song playlist that i have on youtube that i listen to i work sometimes as well
are you serious because i just need something in my head whale songs well it's just like
It sounds so bad.
Yeah, I know.
It sounds terrible.
But it's just like, it'll help me just zone out and actually do my work.
Oh my God, that's hilarious.
There you go.
Amiti, this has been amazing.
Wait, before we go, can I share some like a bit more about what Way has been up to and what Way is about to be up to?
Absolutely.
Okay.
And tell everyone how to find it as well.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
Okay, so this past year has blown me away in terms of traction.
We've had, Way has supported over 150 Freedom Tech builders coming from over 35 different
countries, which I'm just completely astounded by.
The stories of impact you've heard, I guess, just two, but oh my God, I could talk your
ear off about, we need to do a better job of sharing them because it's really blown me
away.
People who are either, oh my God, I'm on the brink of burnout or things are blowing up
And this has really helped me focus on what's important to be more efficient, you know, to level up the whole spectrum of things.
We have, yeah, I think I mentioned we've supported so many different open source projects.
And, yeah, we're doubling down.
This upcoming year, Way is partnering with HRF.
We're going to be supporting 50 HRF grantees.
We're in talks with other organizations and looking.
Right now, we have really big wait lists for these programs.
So I highly recommend if you're interested in staying up to date with what Wei is doing, you can find us at www.wei.dev, W-A-Y-E dot D-E-V.
Please include it in the show notes.
I would recommend signing up for our newsletter.
We have yet to send a mail, but we're working on it.
The next time we launch a program,
which, donors, you're very invited to help us
reduce the size of these waitlists.
But the next time we launch a program that's open source,
that is available,
we're going to definitely message out the mailing list.
Any questions, you can email us, hello at way.dev.
To be clear, it's not only for developers,
it's for FreedomTech builders.
Yeah.
That's awesome. Thank you for this Amiti.
Thank you so much.
I think it's an amazing project.
I'm so glad.
And I've had fun. It's been great.
I've had a great time. Thank you.
