I found the metamask theme excellent and being able to explain everything about the subject seemed great. Thank you very much teacher for these topics Defi.

Hi @endersontowers
Thanks for attending the 5th- week Crypto course and for your effort in doing the given home work task.
Feedback
This is excellent work. Well done. Thanks for taking time to learn about the various features of Meta Mask including the send, receiving, depositing, buying option for cryptocurrencies in Meta Mask.
I also like the fact that you highlighted the list of other ERC20 tokens that are supported by Meta Mask. A user can simply add them to the list of displayable tokens within his Meta Mask wallet and proceed to make transactions with them.
