Bitcoin Plebcast: The Journey to Becoming a Bitcoin Developer w/ Austin Kelsay

May 7 2022 • 1hr 37m

Show Notes

I often ask the twitterverse if there are any bitcoiners out there who would like to jump on the podcast for a discussion about whatever they're into (or want to discuss).
Austin hit me up recently offering to share his journey of becoming a bitcoin developer, as someone with no background or natural inclination for computer science / engineering.
What followed was an incredible discussion of perseverance, dedication, and the powerful motivating (and transformative) force which bitcoin represents for Austin (and many others).
Enjoy!
