Ocenaudio (free GPL Win, Linux, Mac) can also Normalize audio.
1) Import all chaptered audio files by dragging them into Ocenaudio and it takes awhile to analyzing them (about 3x longer than audacity). Each chapter double click on and choose Effects | Normalize or press the Normalize button.
2) Each subsequent chapter just press Ctrl-Y to repeat the Normalization after double clicking on the track to select it.
3) File | Save All and it'll output the opus files to a variable bitrate around 50kbps overwriting the original ones.
4) For that rare chapter if it doesn't normalize the track like the other tracks judging by the waveform graph then use the Gain Tool and increase the dB appropriately.
For advanced users: you can use MKVToolnix to extract the chapters without re-encoding them although you'll have to manually rename the chapter names. https://www.tg-me.com/id/GeekTips/com.geektips/79

In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
