Just now my phone popped up a notification red dot saying “Transaction Completed,” my first reaction wasn't whether I made a profit or not, but: will I still be able to find this record at the end of the year… To put it plainly, the biggest fear in tax reporting isn't how much you pay, but digging up old accounts until you collapse.

I'm very simple now: every time I deposit or withdraw funds, cross chains, or exchange coins, I note it down casually, with the time, chain, amount, screenshot/txid thrown into the same folder, otherwise, if there's a cross-chain bridge theft or some bad incident, the subsequent asset rollback/compensation involves a bunch of operations, and I can't even explain it clearly. Also, that time when the oracle had abnormal quotes and everyone was “waiting for confirmation,” I also waited, and in the end, a bunch of pending/rollback transactions, the account looks like it traveled through time… Anyway, I keep all the transaction flows complete, better to be troublesome now than to find out at the end of the year that I can't even explain “why I have this transaction.”
