Every time I see people scrambling to review transaction records at the end of the year for tax reporting, I get a bit scared... For someone like me who loves trading options and volatility, having too many orders can really trap me. Now I’ve set a simple method for myself: every time I deposit or withdraw funds, switch wallets, or interact on-chain, I casually take a screenshot + transaction hash and put them into the same folder, then use a spreadsheet to record a line like “What I did / Why / Approximate amount.” Not aiming for perfection, just avoiding forgetting.

Recently, AI Agents and automated trading are quite popular, it feels like half the people are hyping the narrative, and the other half are quietly strengthening security. I don’t dare to go fully automatic either; I’d rather spend a bit more time tightening API permissions and layering wallets. It’s more trouble, but at least it keeps the end-of-year reconciliation and my mindset more stable… Anyway, losses can be romantic, but bad debts are not acceptable.
