This year's biggest frustration for me isn't the market, but tax reporting... To put it simply, running back and forth between on-chain and off-chain records at the end of the year is like stirring up all the sand in a fish tank. Now I've changed to "taking notes while doing": every time I arbitrage that small price difference across pools, I casually toss the transaction hash, time, addresses used, and the amount of tokens in and out into the same spreadsheet, including fees/slippage, or else later I’ll only have the mystical "I remember I made a profit" kind of feeling.

Recently, there's been another wave of Meme + celebrity shoutouts, and with so much information, I really feel anxious—scrolling a couple of times makes me feel like I might miss the world. My filtering method is pretty crude: only pay attention to alerts related to my wallet address + fee/liquidity changes in my frequently used pools, everything else is just background noise. Veteran players say don’t take the last step, and I agree... Anyway, only transactions that I can keep clear records of are the ones I dare to make.
