My phone just popped up a notification red dot saying "Transaction Complete" again.


My first reaction wasn't whether I made a profit or not, but: will I still be able to find this record at the end of the year...
Honestly, the biggest fear when it comes to tax reporting isn't how much to pay, but digging up old records until you break down.

I'm pretty simple-minded now: every time I deposit, withdraw, cross-chain, or swap coins, I make a quick note,
date, chain, amount, screenshot/txid all dumped into the same folder,
otherwise, if a cross-chain bridge gets hacked, and there’s a bunch of asset rollbacks or compensations later,
I can't even explain it clearly myself.
And that oracle price anomaly incident where everyone was "waiting for confirmation," I also waited,
ended up with a bunch of pending/rollback transactions, the account looks like it traveled through time...
Anyway, I keep all transaction records intact first, even if it's more trouble,
better than waiting until the end of the year and realizing I can't even explain "why I have this transaction."
