As 2026 approaches, 2025 was a somewhat mixed year for me, yet most of what happened were very great, from account bans from platforms I used to fully using cryptocurrencies. Here, this post highlights what happened and why that happened. This is my very first blog post on Paragraph, I never used it before and I'm so satisfied with it.

Below is a recap of events that defined me on this year.

This is the first thing I want to repeat, I did some posts complaining about my accounts getting banned from Facebook, Instagram, Truth Social and BandLab, despite following their rules, until my dad advised me to avoid exposing my political opinions with frequency to avoid controversy.

My Instagram was extremely short-lived, lasting two days until my profile got banned for being a "fake account" on May 2025 after posting my very own works and projects, and a similar situation happened when I attempted to create a new Facebook account on June 2025 but my profile got autobanned for attempted ban evasion.

On October 7, 2025, after replying to a then-latest post by US President Donald Trump, my Truth Social account was taken down for unknown reasons, claiming it was "Terms of Service violations", making it also short-lived, and I had no idea why I got banned from that platform.

On December 12, 2025, my BandLab profile was deleted for "Community Guideline violations", which all of my original music track uploads are now unplayable there, but they are safely backed up on audio files to keep them from becoming literal lost media while they are being moved to Audius.

On August 2025, after having been extremely dissatisfied with mainstream Web3 social networks, I was forced to move to Web3 socials such as Nostr, Odysee or Status, which I saw things like too many users bypassing censorship by changing letters on the words good videos getting demonetized and good accounts getting yanked.

I'm very satisfied with Web3 now and I will never give it up, Web3 is a beacon of basic free speech and financial freedom, something that very little happened on Web2 services. Web3 is a much advanced and freer successor to Web2, with innovations like blockchains and artificial intelligence taking the environment's place.

With Web2 platforms, you have to self-censor the parts of your stuff. And with Web3 platforms you don't need to self-censor, which makes this technique completely useless.

In the age of banks tracking what you do, physically and digitally, cryptocurrency is a hard-to-track financial technology that only exists digitally and protected with a cryptography to deter counterfeits and fraudulent transactions. Examples of cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.

I knew little about it on the beginning until my knowledge of it grew drastically after downloading crypto wallets on late-December 2025, which was a great Christmas period and this year is ending for now at the time of this writing. To avoid forgetting addresses I had to note all of them on my note-taking app and print it on paper, ensuring that any trusted third-party can send crypto to these addresses. I have heard of them before but I didn't start using them until this year for extra sources.

On early-2025, I created new franchises known as The Crayonians, The Objectians and The Micronal. The Crayonians, formerly The Crayons, sets the adventures and misadventures of anthropomorphic crayons on its place, while The Objectians set similar adventures on its self. The Micronal is about a group of four childhood friends, whom a simple cardboard box changed their lives when they were kids, have new bizarre, often unusual adventures that would otherwise risk losing their lives by facing threats from specific entities. TC and TO started as artworks, while TM started as a novel. I created these franchises for stress relief and calm.

Currently, all of my franchises, including a newly-created The Crownattevers franchise, are on hold due to running out of ideas until sometime on the near future. Both of the early iterations of The Micronal novels from Wattpad are now lost media after a cancelled second iteration of the same franchise. A similar situation happened to the early iterations of comic books from TC and TO, as well as an early TC short story.

Sometime in this year, I had to visit Wayback Machine and Pinterest in search for archives of my DeviantArt works, whose accounts are now deleted, and save them on my archives. Only 200+ deviations were recovered, including an early countryball comic, out of 600+ works from the said platforms, most of my works from 2014-2025 are rendered lost and are unlikely to be recovered, and it's uncertain whether or not my pre-2014 works still survived to this day.

Examples of rediscovered works include a fan crossover of numerous PNGs slapped onto Mojave wallpaper, a security camera meme, a photo of a phone with an PNG slapped onto it and one of my final Sketchup 3D watercraft models from 2017 before leaving the Virtual Sailor and Vehicle Simulator communities on that same year.

2025 is ending as a mixed year with both rewards and consequences, as well as a year for my very own "innovations" and the migration from Web2 to Web3. Like most of year recaps and retrospectives, blog highlights that no year is fully perfect, as nothing is 100% perfect, since good and bad things can happen anytime in anywhere, be it in the United States or in any foreign places.

Thanks for reading my very first Paragraph post! I hope you enjoy it!
