Recently, the "compound yield" of the pledge/share security model has been criticized as a "matryoshka doll" scheme.
I’ve actually lowered my expectations first: don’t always think about stacking layers to the sky, think about filing taxes by the end of the year and don’t let yourself collapse from stacking...
Honestly, if you don’t keep good transaction records, December will be a big crash site.
My current quick fix: every time I deposit/withdraw/exchange coins, I take a screenshot and put the transaction hash into a table (time, chain, amount, purpose in one sentence).
For contracts/options, separate opening/closing and funding rate into different columns, don’t mix them together;
Airdrops, referral rewards, and similar should be marked clearly, or else later you won’t be able to distinguish between “free gains” and “your earnings.”
Anyway, I’ve accepted it: doing less, but keeping clearer records is way better than staying up late to reconcile accounts at the end of the year.
That’s all for now.
