Now that the NBA gambling scandal has come to light, I’m thinking less about the bets and more about the setup. The rim’s still ten feet high — even when players like Victor Wembanyama could use it as a footstool. It’s not about cheating; it’s about advantage.

Same thing in crypto. The giants — the exchanges, the funds, the insiders — are playing above the rim. The rest of us are trying to touch net while pretending it’s a fair game.

This week on The Chip Mahoney Show, I’m connecting the dots between the NBA’s gambling mess, FTX’s arena deal, and the way markets keep pretending the floor and ceiling are the same height. Because the truth is simple: the rim never moved — the players just got taller.

Want to go deeper into the ideas behind this show?

The best place to begin is the Start Here page — where I explain how capital is quietly reshaping the financial system, and how everyday investors can align early with the infrastructure being built beneath the headlines.

If you want to go further, the next step is the Alignment Intelligence Bundle — the system I use to interpret how structural financial shifts happen before they become obvious.

🔶 Get it here:

Inside you’ll find:

• Aligned or Left Behind — the framework for understanding alignment before clarity
• The Alignment Checklist — a practical guide for identifying positioning signals
• And 30 days of Signals access, where I track the infrastructure and assets institutions are quietly building

Because in structural shifts, recognition always arrives later than alignment.

The Chip Mahoney Show delivers financial intelligence for the Digital Dollar era — helping investors, advisors, and builders stay early, not reactive.
