The Chip Mahoney Show | Crypto Unfiltered

In this episode, we delve into the volatile world of crypto as headlines fluctuate between altseason and market crashes. However, the real signals lie beneath the surface: stablecoins are on track to reach a staggering $300 billion market cap, while Total Value Locked (TVL) struggles to find stability. This divergence reveals crucial insights about liquidity in the crypto space, indicating that conviction from investors may not be ...

Bitcoin’s holding steady, Ethereum is pressing forward — but the bigger story is how financial advisors have been locked out of crypto for years, just as the rails of DeFi have proven themselves. In this episode, I dig into why that lockdown is cracking, why scams were mostly born in TradFi, and how crypto has survived and evolved. Then we look ahead to September 3rd, when Ondo Finance brings U.S. stocks directly onto Ethereum — a ...

Netflix says “Netflix and Chill.” Ben & Jerry’s says “Netflix and Chill’d.” But what’s really left? Endless scrolling through movies you’ve already seen, just repackaged with new thumbnails. And when you do land on something, it’s often a comedian dropping a thousand “likes” and f-bombs trying to win the crowd. In this episode, I riff on culture’s lazy loops—how companies sell us novelty by recycling the old—and what that says abou...

Wholecoiners aren’t the ones stacking now — they’re the ones who will try to. The theory is that a generation raised on the American Dream of owning a home will soon replace it with the dream of owning one Bitcoin. But when they finally step up, they’ll face sticker shock. At six figures and climbing, the wholecoin dream won’t deliver what they expect. In this episode, I explain why wholecoiners will only get half of what’s coming,...

September is being staged like a play — with a rate cut carrot dangled in front of retail, Coinbase hyping a so-called Banana Zone, and a wave of new investors set up to believe in Altseason as if every token were a hero. But this isn’t the Rebel Alliance. Some coins are bounty hunters. Some are traps. And the Banana Zone can just as easily turn into a Banana DeadZone if you’re not careful.

In this episode, I break down how to spot ...

In late capitalism, not all kings built their kingdoms — some just aligned with the right rails at the right time. Michael Saylor and Tom Lee are celebrated today, but the real architects were Satoshi Nakamoto and Vitalik Buterin. In this episode, I break down the aligner’s playbook and why early positioning beats invention in today’s economy. We’ll explore how SEI Network’s bold shift from Cosmos to Ethereum’s OP Stack — and its s...

Should AERO breakout at $2, it wouldn't be just retail hype — it’s a signal tied directly to why Coinbase needs Aerodrome to scale Base’s liquidity. And right next to it on my Signals sheet? Venice AI (VVV), an AI infrastructure play built for the rails AERO is powering. In this episode, I break down why these two moves are connected, why they’re aligned plays in different sectors, and why they’re both on my Signals list right now.

PPP isn’t some hot new token — it’s the acronym behind billions in fraud. And in this episode, we’re looking at two very different but equally staggering cases that prove the grift didn’t end with lockdowns.

BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF (ETHA) just smashed through $10 billion AUM. Ondo is building the liquidity rails for tokenized Treasuries. And Bitmine—yes, a Bitcoin miner—is quietly stacking Ethereum for its new treasury strategy. Together, they form BRO—BlackRock + Ondo—a meme with meaning. Because what they’re really doing is reshaping the crypto future from the inside out. In this episode, I break down how Ethereum is becoming the fi...

In this episode, Chip Mahoney exposes The Food Illusion—a modern scam where brands like Domino’s shrink portions, inflate prices, and manipulate perception using small-handed actors and clever framing.
