Lately, I’ve really been shaken awake by the words “year-end reporting”… Usually, I slip up and click on token swaps, cross-chain transfers, or testnet incentives, saying “it’s just a few transactions anyway,” but when I check the records later, it’s like archaeology. Especially now, with all kinds of expectations about points and guesses about whether the mainnet will issue tokens flying everywhere, the more actively you interact, the easier it is to turn your ledger into a meme collection.
My current clumsy method: every major operation, I take a screenshot and jot down a note (what I did, why, which chain), and I export data from exchanges and wallets periodically, so I don’t expect to remember “what this transaction was for” by the end of the year. I see simplicity as a trap: the more you think “this small amount / few points doesn’t matter,” the more likely you are to end up messing yourself up in the end. Joking aside, don’t treat your positions as a joke, set up risk control first, and taxes are also part of risk management… that’s it for now.
