Recently I realized I’m waiting for something every day: waiting for on-chain confirmations, waiting for callbacks, waiting to think things through... Turns out the thing I should be waiting for the most is “waiting until the end of the year.” When tax reporting time comes, if I haven’t kept complete transaction records, I’ll really go crazy. My simple method is: every time I make a large deposit or withdrawal, I take a screenshot + save the txhash in a spreadsheet, and note why I did it at the time (rebalancing, cross-chain transfer, airdrop, etc.), otherwise in a few months I won’t recognize my own records. Also, don’t rely on exchanges/wallets to automatically export everything; the numerous cross-chain transactions on the blockchain are easy to break apart. Recently, the community has been arguing about privacy coins and mixing coins—whether they count as “compliance risk zones.” I don’t take sides; honestly, just keep your records clear first, at least you’ll have a baseline mentally. That’s how I’m doing it for now.
