I'm starting to record my transaction history, and it's not because I suddenly became more diligent. I just get nervous thinking about having to report at the end of the year... I used to think "everything's on the chain," but when it comes to reconciliation, cross-chain transfers, wallet swaps, airdrops, Gas fees—these little things can really drive you crazy. Now, spending a few minutes each day to note down key operations actually keeps my mindset much more stable: at least I know exactly what I did, where I was just testing, and where I was switching positions, rather than relying on memory and making stuff up in the end.
Recently, the "compound" yield from staking and shared security has been criticized as a copycat scheme. Looking at it, I also want to make my records more solid. The returns look pretty good, but the longer the chain, the higher the chance of problems or unclear situations piling up... Honestly, leaving traces isn't about proving how professional I am; it's to prevent my future self from taking the blame. For now, this is the plan—gradually turning it into a habit.
