I no longer dare to be too casual with my trading now. When the year-end tax reporting and declarations come, flipping through wallet records makes me doubt my life. My simple method: every time I cross-chain / swap tokens / claim small airdrops, I conveniently record a note—time, chain, txhash, amount, screenshot at the time, and put it into a spreadsheet; I'm used to testing small amounts multiple times, and it also helps complete the evidence chain, better to be slow and steady than to have to do corrections later.

Recently, new L1/L2 projects have started incentivizing to attract TVL, and veteran users in the group complain about “mining, selling, and dumping,” which I find quite realistic: lively as it is, just keep the records intact. Honestly, I don’t mind paying a little extra in fees; I just worry about not reconciling the accounts at the end of the year, ending up with “I don’t even know where this amount came from”… that’s the real embarrassment. That’s all for now.
