Recently, I went through last year's on-chain and internal transaction records, and just reconciling the accounts gave me a headache... Now I've learned my lesson. For every transfer, token swap, or airdrop claim, I casually put the transaction hash, screenshots, and notes (what it's for) into a folder. At the end of the month, I export a CSV file to store locally and on the cloud, so I don't have to scramble at the end of the year. Honestly, it's not about avoiding taxes; it's about not forgetting things. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain why a certain amount came in.
Lately, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and there are more phishing links. I prefer to treat "record-keeping" and "security" as the same thing: don't click randomly, don't authorize blindly, verify addresses before transferring, to avoid ending up with a bunch of messy records that are hard to trace back. Anyway, taking it slow isn't a big deal; I stay calm and avoid the pitfalls. How about you?
