Bitcoin as Capital: Why the Next Retail Wave Will Arrive Too Late

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.
