This Thursday at Off The Chain Thursday, we’re welcoming back Eric L. Guthrie for a powerful session centered around his new book, Blockchain or Die Harder. Eric isn’t just coming to speak — he’s coming to activate the room. This will be part conversation, part campaign, and part competition as we rally behind a bold goal: pushing his book to #1 by the end of the day Thursday. We’ll host a live book signing and turn the energy up with real-time challenges throughout the night. Attendees will have the opportunity to win exclusive 15- or 30-minute legal consultations with Eric based on who purchases the most eBooks or creates the most compelling social media content about the book. This isn’t just about showing up — it’s about showing out. If you believe in the power of blockchain, ownership, and supporting the builders in our ecosystem, this is your night to make noise. Let’s pack the room, light up social media, and help take Blockchain or Die Harder to the top. See you Thursday. 🤝 Sponsored by @StarterLabsHQ and @StandWithCrypto

This week’s Off The Chain Thursday will dive into Stablecoins and their real-world impact on countries experiencing high inflation. As traditional currencies lose purchasing power in places like Argentina, Nigeria, Turkey, and Venezuela, millions of people are turning to dollar-backed digital dollars as a more stable way to save, spend, and send money. We’ll explore how stablecoins actually work, why they’re becoming a lifeline for everyday people, and the risks and opportunities that come with this shift. From remittances to small businesses, we’ll unpack how blockchain-based money is reshaping financial access in economies where trust in local currency is breaking down. Join us as we break down how code, dollars, and decentralization are colliding — and what this means for the future of global money. 🤝 Sponsored by @StarterLabsHQ and @StandWithCrypto

This Thursday, we’ll explore the rise of Agent-to-Agent (A2A) systems in Web3 — where AI agents don’t just work for humans, but work with each other onchain. At the center of the conversation is ERC-8004, an emerging framework aimed at standardizing how autonomous agents have identity, permissions, payments, and reputation on Ethereum. We’ll also discuss Moltbook, a social network built by AI Agents allowing agents to discover one another, collaborate, and coordinate trustlessly. Humans can join but only to observe. Together, these ideas point toward a future where decentralized businesses, marketplaces, and organizations could be powered by interoperable AI agents. Join us as we unpack what this means for builders, founders, and the Atlanta ecosystem. 🤝 Sponsored by @StarterLabsHQ & @StandWithCrypto

Join us tomorrow for Off The Chain Thursday as Ashley Scruse leads a hands-on workshop focused on using AI to scale your Web3 business. This session will break down how founders, operators, and builders can leverage AI agent platforms like Claude to streamline workflows, automate extraneous tasks, and reclaim time for high-impact work. Ashley will walk through practical use cases for deploying AI agents to support operations, content, research, customer engagement, and more—without needing to be deeply technical. Whether you’re running a startup, building a protocol, or managing a growing Web3 brand, this workshop will help you develop the skills to work with AI instead of around it. Come ready to learn, ask questions, and leave with actionable strategies you can apply immediately.

Next week at Off The Chain Thursday, we’re diving into World (formerly Worldcoin) — one of the most ambitious projects at the intersection of crypto, identity, and AI. As artificial intelligence accelerates and the internet becomes more automated, one of the biggest challenges ahead is proving what’s real, what’s human, and what can be trusted. World is positioning itself as a foundational layer for the next era of the internet by building a global network focused on proof of personhood, digital trust, and access. We’ll break down what World is, why it matters right now, and what it could mean for the future of blockchain adoption, online identity, and the digital economy. Whether you’re bullish, skeptical, or just trying to understand the bigger picture — this conversation will be timely, thought-provoking, and forward-looking. 🤝 Sponsored by @StarterLabsHQ & @StandWithCrypto

Off The Chain Thursday is back at Atlanta Blockchain Center — and this week we’re diving into one of the most exciting (and controversial) use-cases in crypto: Prediction Markets. These markets let people place real-time, market-driven odds on future outcomes — from elections and interest rates to sports, Bitcoin price targets, and major world events. But what changes when prediction markets go on-chain? In this session, we’ll break down how blockchain prediction markets work, why they’re growing fast, and what they mean for the future of information, speculation, and truth discovery. We’ll cover the fundamentals, how blockchain makes them global and permissionless, and how liquidity, odds, settlements, and oracles power these platforms. We’ll also highlight the top protocols driving the trend, the narratives forming for 2026, and the risks + regulatory conversations surrounding this space. Whether you’re a trader, builder, investor, or just crypto-curious — you’ll be hearing about prediction markets all year, so you don’t want to miss this one. See you Thursday!

We’re kicking off our first Off The Chain Thursday of 2026 and setting the tone for what’s ahead. This session will break down the emerging trends shaping the next phase of crypto and blockchain — not hype, but real signals worth paying attention to. We’ll dive into Real World Assets (RWAs) and on-chain finance, the renewed conversation around privacy coins, the rise of large-cap meme assets, how regulatory clarity like the CLARITY Act could impact the market, upcoming Ethereum upgrades, and why prediction markets are becoming a serious category to watch. Whether you’re building, investing, or just trying to stay ahead of the curve, this conversation will help frame how 2026 is starting — and where it may be heading. 📍 Atlanta Blockchain Center 🗓️ This Thursday 🎟️ Free & open to the community

This week, we’re introducing DWeb, an organization built to reconnect us with the original vision of the internet — open, private, reliable, secure, and owned by the people who build and use it. Since 2016, DWeb has served as a bridge across diverse communities, helping creators, technologists, founders, and thinkers exchange the ideas and principles needed to push the decentralized web forward. We’ll walk through the origins of the decentralized web dating back to the early Internet Archive movement, how DWeb connects the people, projects, and protocols shaping this ecosystem, and why their work matters for builders right here in Atlanta. This is our first deep-dive introduction to the organization, and a chance for our community to understand how DWeb supports the future we’re all building toward.

We’re running it back — this time with Atlanta at the center. Innovation in Atlanta brings the same energy as our “Why We Build” session, but now we’re tapping into the heartbeat of the city: our local business ecosystem. From restaurants and hospitality to real estate, retail, logistics, wellness, nightlife, culture and beyond — we’re exploring how Web3 + AI can elevate real businesses in real time. Attendees will break into build teams, choose a local business sector, and map out ways blockchain and AI could transform operations, customer experience, data ownership, payments, loyalty, automation and more. It’s hands-on, idea-driven, and built for people ready to create. We’re not just talking innovation — we’re architecting it. Come contribute, collaborate, and help shape the future of Atlanta business. 🤝 Sponsored by: @StandWithCrypto #OffTheChainThursday #WhyWeBuild #10in5
