Recently, I’ve been watching the L2s argue like crazy—comparing themselves by TPS, by fees, and by subsidies—and my very first reaction in my head was: Fine, you can all compete however you want, just don’t make me compete when it’s time to file my taxes at the end of the year… Put plainly, what really breaks people down isn’t whether they’re losing or making money—it’s “where did this transaction come from and where did it go.”

My current dumb-but-effective method: every time I do a big token swap / cross-chain transfer / claim an airdrop, I immediately take a screenshot + drop the tx hash into my records, and I tack on a quick note like “what it’s for.” At the end of the month, I export the exchange’s CSV and save it to cloud storage as well. My wallet addresses are also kept consistent: use a few fixed ones—no new address today, a different one tomorrow.

In other words, I’m more like a “record keeper who’s afraid of trouble,” not a “brave hero who does the assignment as soon as it’s due.” For now, that’s it. I don’t know how future policies will change, but at least don’t let myself lose my mind first.
