Recently, digging through old accounts made me question my life, and I realized that relying solely on memory for tax matters is really not feasible... I'm now just giving myself a "patch," small fixes: every time I change positions / cross chains / claim an airdrop, I casually put the exported exchange records, on-chain hashes, and screenshots into the same folder, with a simple name like "Date - What I Did," not aiming for perfection, just matching up what I can.
Especially these past two days, with funding rates being extremely volatile again, the group arguing whether to reverse or keep squeezing the bubble, I’ve become even more cautious: the more emotional I get, the more chaotic my operations, and year-end reconciliation feels more like opening a blind box. Honestly, I’m not afraid of losing money, I’m afraid of losing track of records and not being able to explain things clearly. For now, just patch up the gaps slowly, better than staying up all night at the end of the year.
