Lately, I've been feeling a bit anxious about taxes and reporting... Usually, trading is fun, but at the end of the year, reconciling accounts feels like digging up old debts. Now I force myself: every time I interact on-chain or switch between CEXs, I casually put the tx hash, time, counterparty, and a screenshot into a spreadsheet, plus a note saying "what this transaction was for" (otherwise, I won't recognize it after three months). AI agents and automated trading have been pretty popular lately, with all the hype, but honestly, the easiest things to overlook are security and record-keeping: robots run small transactions, cross-chain swaps, authorizations, and in the end, you forget who you authorized yourself to, let alone explain the flow of funds. Anyway, my current principle is: export whenever possible, note immediately when possible, better to be a bit troublesome than to go crazy at the end of the year. Oh, and I still believe that "people who seriously leave traces are less likely to take the blame."
