Lately, I’ve been really exhausted by the tax/reporting stuff, but I’m still at it… Honestly, the end-of-year panic is mostly because I’ve been too casual in my usual approach. Now I try to keep a copy every time I make a large trade, cross-chain transfer, or claim an airdrop: export a file from the exchange, pull up the on-chain address with a browser, and write a brief note explaining “why I did this” (like risk hedging, swapping for stablecoins, participating in staking). Otherwise, I’ll end up with just a bunch of hashes later, and I won’t be able to explain myself.
These days, everyone’s talking about staking unlocks and unlock calendars again, and I get the anxiety about selling pressure, but I’m more worried about “impulsive actions” turning my records into a mess. Anyway, my current principle is: better to make fewer moves than to keep patching things up later and doubting myself. That’s it for now.
