Every time I see discussions in the group about staking unlocks, token unlock calendars, and the anxiety of "selling pressure coming," I remind myself: don’t just watch the charts, year-end taxes and reporting are more likely to drive you crazy... My current approach is pretty simple: every time I swap tokens, cross chains, or earn small yields, I immediately record a line in a spreadsheet (time, chain, wallet, counterparty, amount, approximate price at the time, transaction hash), and I also save a screenshot in a folder. Don’t think about fully automating it; I consider complexity an enemy, so just record the key items. When it’s time for year-end reconciliation, at least I won’t be staring blankly at a bunch of addresses. The risk is the same— the clearer the records, the better I know whether I’ve actually made a profit or not. That’s it for now.
