## Not Quitting, Just Not Playing
I've just realized... it's been 10 days since I last used Facebook. How did that happen?
For the past 2-3 years, Facebook has been the main app draining my battery and consuming my time. Whether it's chatting with friends, creating content for Right Shift, sporadically acting as an admin, mindlessly scrolling through the feed, or indulging in dopamine hits, it's been a constant.
I've been obsessed with beating its algorithms, sticking to my #AustrianPrinciples— "I won't pay! I'll create value. Let's see who lasts longer." But then I realized, it's too exhausting. It takes up too much of my life.
## Enough Is Enough, Shady Apps
#Nostr may not be the marketing tool for Right Shift, and frankly, I don't care anymore. We've tried to disseminate information, but Mark Zuckerberg has been keen on silencing us. Our main page is even #Shadowbanned now.
### "I don't like playing on an unfair field."
I regret missing the opportunity to reach a broader audience on Facebook, but that's a self-deception. How can we reach them when we're being suppressed?
I take a deep breath and tell myself, "Let it go. New opportunities will come. When Bitcoin gains more traction, the algorithms will push us naturally." For now, it's like a small stream fighting a fire; we can't even compete with street fights making the news.
## An Organic Farewell
The "quitting" happened naturally. I didn't plan it or force myself. I just realized it's been 10 days since I last logged into Facebook.
Ironically, the unfair one is me. I tell my team to engage, respond, and announce on the platform. Yet, I don't follow my own advice.
So here it is, a subconscious decision. It happened naturally. In a field where we're at a disadvantage, there's no reason to play.
For the past 10 days, I haven't felt the need or urge to do anything. I don't care. I'm an oddball, and if my subconscious says, "I don't want to play," I listen. I haven't experienced any "withdrawal symptoms" either.
## Fighting a Greater Responsibility
But in the end, I haven't forgotten why Right Shift was established. We have a mission to enlighten people, and it's not just about Bitcoiners. What about those outside the circle?
Understanding Bitcoin is a personal enlightenment, but we shouldn't forget that not everyone is "blessed" to stumble upon this knowledge. Even I wasn't.
### Ignorance is never wrong; knowing it's wrong and still doing it is terrible.
Many youths and adults are unaware that they're heading in the wrong direction. They may need us, and many more need guidance and enlightenment, just like we once did.
Who are we to think we're right and others are wrong? We're just people who've found an oasis in a scorching desert, wanting to guide others who are parched and lost. I don't care how people see us.
My team and I know that we should continue if our hearts tell us to.
## The More, The Merrier
A phrase I love, reminding me of the power of networks. The more people involved, the more fun it is. Right Shift, being just a handful of people, can't achieve something grand. We need more people to join this "greater good."

"Dad, what's 'crypto'?"
"This game says I can buy items with ETH and Doge. Can I use Shiba too, Dad?"
...
Those are the words I heard three years ago.
The "voices" still echo in my ears— the voice of an innocent child, unaware of the world, soon to be another victim of the system.
I snapped back to reality at that moment.
### To act or not to act, it's up to us. To help or to let it be, we choose.
I choose to help more kids, not just my own.
The journey is still long, and I might die before I succeed.
