X is gearing up to launch “Starterpacks,” an onboarding feature for new users to help them find the best accounts and deals based on interests like crypto and technology.

Announced Thursday, X will unveil the feature in the coming weeks, X product chief Nikita Bier announced.

A starter wallet in the crypto category includes memecoin trading with real-time market trends and sentiment from active traders.

A short video posted by Bier showed a preview of how starter bags work. It shows users choosing their interests while onboarding and following a selected list of accounts.

Crypto Twitter Backlash – Is X Trying To Revive It?

The announcement comes days after Bier's comments about crypto on Twitter sparked outrage among the community. Crypto users have complained that the visibility of crypto content on X is decreasing.

“CryptoTwitter (CT) will die of suicide, not algorithms,” he wrote in response.

His response has sparked growing frustration in the crypto community, with users believing the platform is deliberately limiting crypto-related posts. Bier insists that the issue is unrelated to X's algorithms.

On Wednesday, Bitcoin cypherpunk Jameson Lopp predicted that there would be 96 million posts containing ‘Bitcoin' on X by 2025, a 32 percent year-over-year decline.

Although the data does not show total crypto participation, the post has raised discovery challenges and algorithm changes.

Vitalik Buterin emphasized better Crypto social media

In a separate post on Wednesday, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin emphasized the need for better social media tools.

“We need mass communication tools that serve the long-term needs of the user, not just to maximize short-term engagement,” he wrote on X.

In addition, he explained that crypto social projects often go wrong.

“A decentralized society must be led by people who believe deeply in the “social” part, and it must first and foremost be motivated by solving social problems,” he said.
