2026-01-0651 minInflection PointWhy Bitcoin Can’t Scale | John CarvalhoIn this episode, John Carvalho joins the show to discuss his unconventional view that Bitcoin’s real bottleneck isn’t technology but trust, challenging the assumptions behind Lightning, layer-two “scaling,” and even the broader cultural narratives about Bitcoin’s future. We also discuss why he believes layers don’t truly scale Bitcoin, how trust dynamics shape every payment system, and why Synonym is building a new framework for peer-to-peer coordination that goes beyond blockchains. Enjoy!
