I’ve thought about handling taxes and reporting earlier this year, otherwise tracking transaction records at the end of the year will really drive me crazy. My simple method: every time I deposit/withdraw/exchange/loan/settle (hopefully not too often), I jot down a quick note—at least record the time, chain/platform, amount, counterparty assets, and a screenshot or transaction link from that moment; then add a column “What is this for” (cost, repayment, interest, fees), otherwise looking back it’s all just riddles. Especially for those transfers back and forth on the chain—honestly, if you don’t write notes, you won’t be able to prove anything later.

Recently, social mining and fan tokens have become popular again. The idea of “attention as mining” sounds pretty mysterious, but for me, it’s more like “attention as a bill”: the more you care, the more fragmented the transactions, and the more pressure there is to record everything… Anyway, after setting reminders/limits for my frequently used addresses, my mindset has noticeably stabilized. I no longer get annoyed by small incoming transactions, and I’m more willing to pause and organize my spreadsheets. The risk hasn’t changed, but at least I don’t have to rely on memory to tough it out.
