Every time I see new L1/L2 projects doing incentive programs to pull TVL, or old users complaining "mining and selling," my first reaction isn't to rush in and grab, but to think: with all these transfers back and forth, cross-chain transactions, perpetual opening and closing positions, what will I use to report taxes/filings at the end of the year... Don't wait until December to catch up on the work, it's basically a nightmare mode.
Right now, I have a simple method: export transaction data, funding rates, deposit and withdrawal records every month; use a table to clearly note on-chain addresses "this is cross-chain," "this is token swap," "this is NFT mint," and casually add a couple of human-readable notes, or else I won't understand my own records in three months. To put it simply, stop-loss is faith, leaving traces is a bottom line, just don't let future me go crazy.
