Episode notes
In this thought-provoking interview, John Carvalho, CEO of Synonym, joins me to challenge the mainstream narratives about Bitcoin's scalability, governance, and future.
We discuss why John believes Bitcoin doesn't scale by design, the nuanced role of the Lightning Network, and how subsidized growth has shaped its relevance. He also shares his views on ossification, consensus enforcement, and the trade-offs required to keep Bitcoin decentralized and accessible.
