Just a few days ago during renewal verification, I noticed that the X platform now supports cryptocurrency payments. Wallets like MetaMask are indeed becoming increasingly important in the Web3 ecosystem.

This verification happened to coincide with my nearly one-year journey into Web3. Over the past year, I went from a complete novice to now being able to operate smoothly across various ecosystems, learning from many pitfalls and detours along the way.

I plan to organize and share my experiences and insights from this year—covering wallet selection, trading platform usage, DeFi risk prevention, how to identify projects, manage assets, and other practical lessons. All of these are hard-earned lessons, and I hope they can help friends who are also exploring this path.

Once I’ve sorted out my thoughts, I’ll publish it. It’s indeed a substantial project.

A year from beginner to proficient, this progress is impressive. Looking forward to your valuable insights. MetaMask is now truly infrastructure, and X supporting coin payments is long overdue. Sharing lessons learned the hard way +1. Once you organize your thoughts, it will be much more practical than listening to those vague tutorials. The more pitfalls you encounter, the more valuable your experience becomes. It all depends on how you tell the story. I'm most interested in hearing about DeFi risks. Really, too many people are still being scammed by honeypots. The workload is what it is; after all, everyone is here to earn attention. Just do it. Being able to understand Web3 in a year shows good comprehension. Looking forward to your crash stories.

From a beginner to being able to operate independently in a year, this progress is really good. But to be honest, the most concerning thing is when people think they understand everything, which is often the most vulnerable point for a setback. Sharing valuable insights is a good thing, but be careful not to fall into the trap of writing "in-depth review" after being exploited...

lmao X accepting crypto payments is literally just basic UX, took them long enough. anyway if you're actually tracking the gas optimization between metamask swaps and direct contract calls, you're probably leaving basis points on the table already.

Wow, X has also started playing with crypto payments. This wave is really coming. From a beginner to an expert in a year, this experience is worth writing about. Looking forward to your valuable insights. The more pitfalls you've encountered, the more valuable your lessons are. Keep organizing them; many people are waiting for these real blood, sweat, and tears lessons.
