Recently, I've seen a bunch of memes and celebrities shouting orders and flooding the screens, newcomers rushing in like crazy… I'm not here to discourage, but just thinking about year-end reconciliation makes my scalp tingle: whether you've made a profit or not is one thing, but not keeping full records is the real nightmare.
My current habit is to casually screenshot the hash/time/address for on-chain transfers and exchange deposits/withdrawals, and put them all into the same spreadsheet (don't think it's crude, it really saves lives). When I see suspicious restructuring, delays, or a series of abnormal transactions, I also note down a quick comment like "why did I do this at the time," otherwise I won't recognize my own records in a few months. To put it simply, don’t rely on memory or “it should be,” rely on habits. I understand that veteran players don’t want to take the last baton, but a more realistic approach is: don’t let the tax report be the last baton… for now, that’s it.
