OffChain Global

OffChain Global is building a trusted global community where members can build their professional social network through virtual and in-person events and find the resources, both locally and globally, required to be a productive member of the Web3 professional world.

We welcome those who are already part of the Web3 world, as well as, those who are interested in entering it; whether that means starting a company, getting a job, holding digital currency or just learning the lingo for party conversations. 

Blockchain industry folks are plugged into the network 24/7 and are looking for an excuse to unplug once in a while to socialize. As the world becomes more and more on-chain, we see this as the perfect opportunity to go off chain to meet other passionate people in the space and educate newcomers.

OffChain meetups are for socializing and learning from one another so that we can stay up to date with the latest news and developments in the blockchain space. Going OffChain provides a casual space to not only talk about crypto but also make friends with people that have a very similar interest to us.

It’s also a great opportunity for those new to the blockchain space to learn from the old timers as they can catch them during their downtime.

OffChain was started in 2017 with the vision of bringing people together to connect on a human level. Our regular meetups are very casual with no speakers or sponsors but we have been known to have a speaker or panel from time-to-time.

Most humans care about things that are either quantitative (eg, money, time, data) or qualitative (eg, happiness, danger, greed). My superpower is being able to live at the intersection by harnessing these elements! 🧠

I'm a trained engineer who decided to pursue a career in marketing to make the most of this superpower. However, since my graduation, I've been formulating and implementing strategies involving email marketing, PPC, SEO, content marketing and much more. Most of these campaigns have been ROI-positive in diverse industries such as crypto, finance, sports betting, and many more. 📈✔️

Since 2021, I have gone all in on the Web3 space. Since then, my highlights include;

🎯 >$5 million in token value created,
🎯 2 NFT collections sold out,
🎯 More than 300,000 airdrop participants,
🎯 >2 million eyeballs on landing pages, blogs, newsletters, etc!

I also began:

✅ Cryptocoinsvip: a crypto news and decentralized exchange platform - in its building phase.
✅ Web3 Job roundups, a weekly comprehensive list of fresh jobs & opportunities in Web3!
✅ The Money Panda: A web3 & finance-focused podcast which I host.

I am also a big proponent of Financial Inclusion, Sustainability, and Blockchain Technology. You can regularly find me trying to further these causes with my time and resources! 

I'd like to hear from you. Feel free to reach out/connect!

"The original cryptocurrency was shut down by the government." - Peter Thiel

Before Bitcoin, there was eGold. 

Peter Thiel shares this incredible piece of tech history, describing a pre-Bitcoin system for "anonymous encrypted electronic gold certificates."

He even made PayPal interoperable with it.

The problem? 

It attracted fraud and was, in his view, architecturally flawed. 

"The whole system was shut down," Thiel says. "The company was targeted."

This failure was the ultimate teachable moment. 

It proved that a digital currency needed to be so decentralized that there was no central office in Florida for the authorities to target.

This is not just a story about money. 

It is a story about system design.

"If Goldman Sachs would trade it and Bank of New York would custody it, there would be a lot more people that would feel comfortable being in it." - Mike Novogratz

He perfectly captures the massive validation happening in crypto right now. 

The arrival of traditional finance is not a surrender, it is a necessary infrastructure upgrade for global adoption.

This is playing out exactly as he describes. 

With the launch of Spot Bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming regulatory framework for stablecoins, the gates are officially open. 

The "comfort" factor is being systematically engineered out of the system.

Yet, as Novogratz admits, "There is an irony to it."

The mission is evolving from pure disruption to managed coexistence.

I walked into this recording thinking we were just talking crypto cycles. 

I walked out feeling like I'd decoded a conspiracy whiteboard.

This episode on Money Panda went to places I didn't expect. 

We challenged a core narrative that the memecoin chaos isn't the main event, but the noise to cover the real play.

This is the part of hosting a podcast I live for... the kind of conversations that reframe your entire thinking. 

We connected the sinister dots between political tweets and your portfolio, and why 'peak crime season' is a term every investor should know.

If you're tired of surface-level analysis, this one's for you. 

The full thriller is live.

What if the "meme coin super cycle" is just a distraction from something bigger? 🤔

That was just ONE of the fiery topics in our latest podcast chat featuring Elvis Kolawole & Adrian Pape. 

We connected the dots between:

🕵️‍♂️ Market manipulation & "peak crime season"
🗳️ How one politician's tweet can shake your portfolio
📈 The silent rise of prediction markets

This conversation felt less like an interview and more like decoding a thriller

Massive thanks to our Host and guest for keeping it 100% real. 

The full episode is out now, and it's packed with alphas you can actually use (link in the comments 👇)

"I can have a glass of wine with my wife on Saturday night, and I can be transferring or trading Cryptocurrency." - Eric Trump

 He paints a vivid picture of the frictionless nature of digital assets. 

For a seasoned real estate mogul, the contrast is stark. 

He details the immense operational burden and illiquidity of physical assets, which can take over a year to sell.

This is why he is betting on American Bitcoin. 

He sees mining as a way to produce a globally liquid, easily transferable asset that requires no daily management, calling it "an unbelievably pure store of value."

His logic is powerfully simple: "If I can mine an asset for literally a third the cost that it is trading right now... we are onto something really good."

This is not speculative hype, it is an industrial efficiency play.

"There will be two types of people. The people that bought Bitcoin, and everybody else." - Michael Saylor

He paints a stark picture of a world transformed by artificial intelligence. 

He sees AI generating "infinite stuff" and extreme wealth, but also fundamentally changing how wealth is held.

In his view, Bitcoin is the optimal vessel for preserving capital in this new era. 

It is the "pure digital capital" that AIs will use to trade at light speed, making traditional assets like real estate and gold look slow and clunky.

His conclusion is characteristically direct: "It is all bullish for Bitcoin."

This is a bet on the architecture of the future financial system itself.

We have seen how the rise of the internet created new wealth dynasties. 

Is the rise of AI poised to create a new class of "digital capital" dynasties, where the key differentiator was not building the AI, but simply understanding what the AIs would need to use as money?

"They were making a lot of money to do not a lot of work pushing paper across the desk." - Donald Trump Jr.

With this blunt assessment, Donald Trump Jr. identifies the core resistance to change in traditional finance. 

He argues that systems built on friction and complexity are inherently threatened by technologies that offer simplicity and speed.

His view from the front lines is that we have reached the critical juncture. 

The "reluctant adapters" are now adapting out of necessity, with the floodgates poised to open.

He states confidently: "I think we are at the point where those floodgates are gonna open."

This is more than a trend,  it is a fundamental re-architecting of value transfer.

We have already seen how the internet demolished the business models of gatekeepers in media and retail. 

Are we now witnessing the digital sledgehammer being taken to the most fortified gatekeepers of all, the intermediaries of money itself?

"We started this when they said we had zero chance." - Donald Trump Jr.

He describes launching World Liberty Financial from a position of perceived weakness, driven by a conviction that the project "had to get done one way or the other."

This move mirrors a broader shift where political and cultural movements are not just advocating for change within existing institutions but are building their own parallel institutions. 

It is venture capital meets political activism.

He captures their determination perfectly: "It had to get done one way or the other."

This is the spirit of building your own table instead of waiting for a seat at someone else's.

We have watched tech disrupt everything from taxis to hotels. 

Now, are we about to watch it disrupt the most powerful system of all, political and financial allegiance, by turning them into competing, user-chosen platforms?

Every time I hear an OG crypto story, I’m reminded that we were all just trying our best.

Some were inventing the future, others were inventing new ways to lose things 😂

I still remember locking myself out of my old email account for two months because I was being extra secure.

Maybe I was ahead of my time… just not in a profitable way 😅

On this episode of our Money Panda Podcast, we journey back to a simpler time, when Bitcoin was $10 and your biggest threat was your own paranoia 🐼

Our guest Adrian Pape highlights OG days when he bought 10–20 BTC at $10, and then lost half to a DIY encryption experiment 🤣

Crypto history is wild, and so are these stories

"The 🇺🇸U.S. needs to step up with clear rules for digital assets." - Ryan Eagan 

His message is clear: the world is building the on-ramps to the digital economy, and the U.S. is still painting the lane dividers. 

The 🇪🇺EU's MiCA framework provides a single rulebook for 27 countries. 

That’s a powerful signal to builders: "We are open for business."  

Meanwhile, the U.S. sends mixed messages 🤷‍♂️

Eagan notes the report frames digital assets as essential for "U.S. economic competitiveness and global leadership." 

It’s a wake-up call wrapped in a policy paper. 

We celebrated U.S. leadership in the first internet revolution. 

As the next one unfolds, is the U.S. destined to be the blockbuster of the digital age, a once-dominant giant slow to adapt to a streaming world?

"We are going to go higher on the risk curve." - Stani Kulechov

That is the ambitious roadmap Stani Kulechov outlines for Aave and the future of DeFi. 

The plan is to move beyond crypto assets and use DeFi's infrastructure to unlock liquidity for the vast world of traditional finance.

The first step is using stable assets like BlackRock's BUIDL money market fund as collateral. 

The next steps include private credit, ETFs, and equities, essentially bringing the entire capital stack on-chain.

Kulechov explains the powerful hybrid model: "You can borrow permissionless stablecoins" against these regulated assets.

This is not a rebellion against TradFi, it is a hostile takeover of its most valuable service: lending and borrowing.

The 9-to-5, Monday-to-Friday banking system feels as antiquated as a fax machine. 

Are we on the verge of a 24/7 global financial system where the most competitive loans are not found on Wall Street, but in a transparent, algorithmic pool on the internet?

What if the legendary creator behind Bitcoin was never a lone hacker, but a brilliant cryptographer behind the scenes all along?

Meet Daira-Emma Hopwood, she helped build early decentralized-storage systems and went on to co-design Zcash’s core protocol pioneering privacy tools long before “privacy coin” was a buzzword. 

Rumors linking her to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous founder remain speculative with no signatures, no keys, no definitive proof. 

But regardless of who wrote those first Bitcoin lines, Hopwood’s legacy is real and a powerful reminder that cryptography, not celebrity, builds digital freedom
