🚀 My Ethereum Journey: From Newbie to 'Somewhat Knowledgeable' in Three Years

Three years ago, I heard that 'Ethereum is the world computer' and thought, 'What does that have to do with me?'

Today, I can finally answer that question. It relates to a whole new ownership of digital life.

Looking back, this journey has been filled with 'tuition fees':

· Once, due to setting the wrong slippage, I lost half a month's gas fees on a transaction 💸
· Once, out of fear, I sold all my ETH at the bottom of the bear market 😨
· I also almost lost my entire wallet because of a single signature 🙈

But it is these lessons that have crystallized three fundamental understandings for me:

1. Gas fees are not 'costs'; they are 'network congestion taxes.' Once you understand this, you will choose to operate in the early hours or embrace L2 without hesitation. Optimizing gas is optimizing your return on investment.

2. Your mnemonic phrase is your 'self' in the digital world. Hardware wallets, multi-signature—these are not optional; they are essential. In this world, being responsible for yourself is the only survival rule.

3. What is most charming about Ethereum is not the price of the coin, but its 'programmability.' The first time I executed a transaction automatically via a smart contract, the first time I received payment using an ENS domain, the first time I participated in a DAO vote... I truly touched the embryonic form of 'code is law.'

The biggest mindset shift: From 'chasing hundredfold myths' to 'becoming part of the network.' I am no longer just a bystander to the price; I have become a user, builder, and participant in the ecosystem. This sense of immersion is far more exciting than the paper gains.

What do I expect in the next three years? Will account abstraction allow billions to enter without feeling it? Will L2 truly become the soil for daily applications? Or will we encounter the next 'killer application' on Ethereum?

What about you? On the road to Web3, what has been the most worthwhile 'tuition fee' you've paid?

👇 In the comments, I look forward to your story.

#币安广场征文活动 carries the 'instrument' to convey the way, anchoring the long-term value of Web3 at Binance Square

From the first time I understood the bull-bear game in the candlestick chart, to now being able to maintain rationality amidst market fluctuations, my crypto journey has always revolved around this special 'practice field' at Binance Square. Here, content is no longer just simple information transmission, but has become a bridge connecting cognition and action, individuals and ecology. The launch of the 'Write to Earn' activity has further added a two-way value to this sharing.

What impresses me most about Binance Square is its inclusiveness of 'professionalism' and 'diversity'. As an investor who once held prejudices against Meme coins, it was here that through expert analysis and community discussions, I understood the retail investors' pursuit of 'fairness' and saw the market logic behind the shift from opposition to acceptance. Those in-depth articles marked with cashtags like BTC, BNB always help me quickly anchor the core value of assets; while the contract trading insights shared by creators have taught me to hedge risks with tools — this is akin to the meaning of 'instrument' in 'crypto cultivation', where good products and content tools can make trading decisions more confident.

The emergence of the 'Write to Earn' mechanism has created a virtuous cycle between sharers and readers. After I published a long article about the 'potential of the BNB Chain ecosystem', a reader completed a transaction through the price component in the article, and I thus received a share of the transaction fees. This incentive makes me more willing to spend time refining content and verifying data. I also often gain new perspectives from other creators' articles; for example, a post analyzing Binance's compliance process made me realize that its compliance budget is more than five times that of the product department, providing key evidence for my long-term investment decisions.

In the wave of Web3, Binance Square is no longer just a simple information platform, but a microcosm of what He Yi calls a 'user-centered' ecology. Here, there are beginner guides needed by novices, practical strategies shared by veterans, and mechanisms like 'Write to Earn' that allow value creators to receive rewards. If you also want to find like-minded people in the crypto world, why not pick up a pen and share your thoughts — after all, every sincere output is a step towards your own Web3 cultivation and contributes to building the entire ecology.
