Recently, screenshots about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and all kinds of “getting de-pegged” have been flooding the group chat, and with shaky hands I just want to keep switching around.

What I’m more worried about is this: when it’s time to file at the end of the year, I might end up flipping through transaction records until I break down.
So here’s my simple workaround: every time I do a large coin swap, fund inflow/outflow, or a cross-chain transfer, I immediately save the exchange transaction log, the on-chain hash, and the screenshot from that moment into a folder, and jot down a couple of lines as notes (why I swapped, from where to where).
Otherwise, in the end, I’ll be left with a pile of addresses and timestamps that simply don’t match up.
Plainly put, it’s not to prove how good I am at making money—it’s to prove where each transaction came from and where it went.
For now, I’ll stop here so I don’t torture myself again at year-end.
