• The Tectonic Shift Beneath Bitcoin, XRP, and the Digital Dollar Era
    Feb 9 2026

    The shift to digital assets isn’t happening through headlines — it’s happening beneath the surface.

    In this episode, Chip Mahoney explains what’s changed across Bitcoin, XRP, stablecoins, and on-chain infrastructure following the latest Signals update. He also references an exclusive Substack interview with a Bitcoin IRA executive serving more than 200,000 clients — evidence that digital asset adoption is already well underway.

  • Why Crypto Infrastructure Moves Before Anyone Notices
    Feb 2 2026

    This episode expands on my latest Front Run The Week newsletter, where I explored a quiet but important idea: what actually matters when nothing looks urgent.

    I start with a small media moment — a TradFi discussion where Solana is mentioned as the acceptable crypto reference, while a larger market-cap asset with deeper institutional momentum goes unmentioned. That omission matters more than the mention itself.

    From there, I zoom out to the bigger picture. The most important shifts in crypto don’t announce themselves. Infrastructure gets built quietly, settlement rails form before narratives follow, and institutions move long before the story is obvious.

    In this episode, I break down:

    Why media mentions are often lagging indicators

    What it means when major crypto infrastructure is omitted, not attacked

    Why XRP and similar assets matter in the plumbing conversation, even when they’re absent from headlines

    How to think about crypto when progress is happening beneath the surface

    This isn’t a trading episode or market commentary. It’s about judgment — learning how to recognize what matters before it becomes urgent.

    If you want the signal in writing, you can read the free newsletter. If you want to understand how these pieces connect, this podcast is where I slow it down.

  • Bitcoin as Capital: Why the Next Retail Wave Will Arrive Too Late
    Jan 27 2026

    Bitcoin hasn’t been loud lately — and that’s exactly why this moment matters.

    In this episode of The Chip Mahoney Show, I explain why Bitcoin is no longer behaving like a speculative asset, but increasingly like capital — and how that shift changes who benefits next.

    We talk about why retail interest is at cycle lows, why that’s not bearish, and why institutions are quietly normalizing Bitcoin as collateral and balance-sheet infrastructure. I introduce the idea of Precoiners — the next wave of first-time retail investors who will likely arrive only after validation, when access no longer feels easy.

  • The List That Actually Matters
    Jan 20 2026

    Everyone keeps scrolling the same lists — prices, charts, headlines.

    There’s another list that matters far more.
    And it has nothing to do with hype.

    In this episode, I explain why alignment — not excitement — determines who ends up on this in the future, how a quiet Ripple connection stood out, and why Web3 founders may be the next names people recognize decades from now.

    If you want to understand how wealth actually forms — before it’s obvious — press play.

  • Verifiable Before Valuable
    Jan 13 2026

    Markets are growing up.

    For years, value was assigned first — and proof was hoped for later. Stories, narratives, and projected upside drove prices while execution lagged behind.

    That era is ending.

    In this episode, I break down the shift from potential to enforcement — why access, behavior, and verification now matter more than promises, and how markets are beginning to reward execution over hype.

    Using a simple stadium analogy, I explain why you can already see the new system being built — but why you won’t be able to just show up on game day and buy a ticket once it’s finished.

    This isn’t about predictions.
    It’s about positioning.

  • Why Altseason Failed — And Why 2026 Will Be About Proof, Not Predictions
    Jan 6 2026

    Altseason was supposed to be inevitable. Instead, it turned into an altered version of the Banana Zone — where traders slipped on hype and narratives replaced fundamentals.

    In this episode, I revisit my latest newsletter to explain what went wrong, why the market is growing up, and how 2026 is shaping into a year that rewards real adoption, real volume, and real infrastructure.

    This isn’t about calling tops or bottoms. It’s about understanding where the market actually is — and how to position accordingly.

  • The New Stadium Economy — Why Owning an Asset Isn’t Enough Anymore
    Dec 16 2025

    Front Run The Week — Free Signals

    Owning an asset used to be enough. You bought it, held it, and waited. But today’s economy doesn’t reward spectators — it rewards participants.

    In this episode, Chip Mahoney breaks down The Stadium Economy: a shift where access, alignment, and positioning matter more than price alone. As crypto, AI, and digital rails reshape markets, most people are watching from the stands while a small group plays on the field.

    This episode explores:

    • Why passive ownership is no longer the edge
    • How infrastructure economies reward early alignment, not late attention
    • The growing gap between those who “hold” and those who participate
    • Why understanding the rails matters more than chasing narratives

    If you’ve ever wondered why owning the same asset produces wildly different outcomes, this episode explains what’s really happening — and what most people are missing.

    Don’t just watch the economy. Own it.
