Recently started recording my transaction history, and I just realized that those few annoying steps I usually dislike, I would really go crazy if I didn't do them at the end of the year… I’m pretty old-fashioned now: every time I make a large exchange / cross-chain / deposit or withdrawal, I immediately take a screenshot + drop the Tx hash into a spreadsheet, and casually note “what it’s for.” Otherwise, when the time comes, a bunch of small MEV front-running, slippage, and failed transactions get mixed together, and you can’t tell if it’s your own recklessness or the sorting that screwed you over.

Am I being too meticulous?
Yes, but if I’m not meticulous, in the end, I’m the one who takes the blame.

Another pitfall is multi-signature/DAO reimbursements—just “funding” on the surface, but from a tax perspective, it might be a different story… Anyway, I’d rather write a couple more lines of notes now than stare at my browser history and be clueless at the end of the year.
