X Launches ’Starterpacks’ – Your Gateway to Crypto & Tech Discovery Just Got Easier

X just dropped a game-changer for newcomers: curated 'Starterpacks' designed to demystify crypto and tech feeds from day one.

Cutting Through the Noise

Forget algorithmic overwhelm. These pre-built bundles handpick accounts and topics, offering a guided on-ramp into blockchain chatter and emerging tech trends. It's a direct bypass of the traditional follow-and-hope discovery model.

Why This Move Matters

The platform isn't just adding a feature—it's strategically positioning itself as the front page for the digital asset conversation. By lowering the entry barrier, X taps into the next wave of users before they ever download a dedicated crypto app. It's a user-acquisition masterstroke wrapped in a utility tool.

The Bigger Picture

This isn't about casual scrolling. It's a structured push to own the 'discovery' phase for an entire asset class. While traditional finance gatekeepers debate regulation, X is building the on-ramps. Consider it a cynical but effective hedge: if you can't beat the financial establishment, just build a faster track around it.

The starterpack rollout signals one thing clearly: the race for your digital attention isn't just about content—it's about curating the very lens through which you see the future of money and technology.

The curated starterpack in the crypto category will comprise memecoin trading with real-time market trends and sentiment from active traders.

A short video posted by Bier showed the preview of how starterpacks work. It shows users selecting their interests while onboarding and following the curated list of accounts.

Crypto Twitter Backlash – Is X Trying to Revive it?

The announcement arrives days after Bier’s comments about crypto Twitter sparked backlash among the community. Crypto users have complained about the declining visibility of crypto content on X.

“Crypto Twitter (CT) is dying from suicide, not from the algorithm,” he wrote in response.

His response triggered growing frustration within the crypto community, with users believing that the platform is intentionally limiting crypto-related posts. Bier insisted that the issue is not tied to X’s algorithms.

On Wednesday, bitcoin cypherpunk Jameson Lopp wrote that there were 96 million posts on X containing ‘Bitcoin’ in 2025, a 32% drop year-over-year.

Although the data did not reflect overall crypto engagement, the post triggered concerns about discovery challenges and algorithmic shifts.

Vitalik Buterin Emphasized Better Crypto Social Media

In a separate post on Wednesday, ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stressed the need for better mass communication tools.

“We need mass communication tools that serve the user’s long-term interest, not maximize short-term engagement,” he wrote on X.

In 2026, I plan to be fully back to decentralized social.

If we want a better society, we need better mass communication tools. We need mass communication tools that surface the best information and arguments and help people find points of agreement. We need mass communication… https://t.co/ye249HsojJ

Further, he noted that crypto social projects has often been gone the wrong way.

“Decentralized social should be run by people who deeply believe in the “social” part, and are motivated first and foremost by solving the problems of social,” he added.
