Lately, as the prices keep rising, I just disconnect for ten minutes.
The first thing I do when I come back is not check the K-line, but update my trading records... otherwise, I’ll go crazy trying to file taxes at the end of the year.
My simple method: every time I swap coins / cross-chain / participate in airdrops, I take a screenshot + export a CSV file and upload it to the cloud drive, with the filename clearly written as “Time - Chain - Action - Notes,” and the notes just a simple sentence: why I entered, how I plan to exit.
I’m also tired of the complaints about on-chain miner/validator income, MEV front-running, and fairness in transaction ordering.
Honestly, when it comes to taxes, you still have to rely on your own transaction history matching your records; otherwise, explaining everything will just make you feel guilty.
What I fear most isn’t losing money, but losing control—if I stop recording, act recklessly based on feelings, I won’t even remember what I’ve done in the end.
Let’s leave it at that. Today’s mood rating is 6/10, I held back from chasing.
