Lately, I've been feeling a bit anxious about taxes and reporting...


I used to think as long as I didn't mess around, it would be fine, but at the end of the year, flipping through transaction records left me completely blank.
Now I force myself to export a copy of exchange and on-chain transaction flows every weekend, keep the raw CSVs even if they look ugly;
then manually add two columns with the same fields: why I placed the order at that time, what strategy parameters I used (such as spread for market making / order spacing / maximum slippage),
otherwise, in a few months, I won't remember whether that transaction was a "strategy" or just a slip.
On-chain, I clearly write the tx hash and wallet notes, cross-chain, aggregators, gas refunds—missing even one note can drive you crazy later.

These days, I see everyone comparing RWA and US Treasury yields to on-chain yield products, honestly my first reaction isn't about how high the returns are, but whether I can clearly explain the cash flow/source in my records...
Otherwise, by the time I get to reporting, it would just be awkward.

A few times, I was really tempted to just shut down a small account and uninstall a few market monitoring apps—too much mental effort;
but then I thought, uninstalling won't fix the problem of "not keeping records," so I might as well keep the process simple: export at fixed times, use fixed naming, back up twice, and go with that for now.
