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/sa/GeekTips/com.geektips/79

I have no inside knowledge of a potential stock listing of the popular anti-Whatsapp messaging app, Telegram. But I know this much, judging by most people I talk to, especially crypto investors, if Telegram ever went public, people would gobble it up. I know I would. I’m waiting for it. So is Sergei Sergienko, who claims he owns $800,000 of Telegram’s pre-initial coin offering (ICO) tokens. “If Telegram does a SPAC IPO, there would be demand for this issue. It would probably outstrip the interest we saw during the ICO. Why? Because as of right now Telegram looks like a liberal application that can accept anyone - right after WhatsApp and others have turn on the censorship,” he says.
How to Invest in Bitcoin?
Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.”
