I've been lurking in the group for a long time, and I see there's still chatter about "staking unlock" and "unlock calendar, pressure to sell once it hits."
What I worry about first is: how will you report your records at the end of the year when you keep switching positions back and forth... Honestly, no matter how exciting the market gets, the real torment often comes from reconciliation.
I'm pretty simple now: every time I deposit or withdraw, spot/trading, on-chain swaps, I just save a copy of the CSV exported from the exchange, and put the wallet address and Tx hash into the same sheet, archived monthly; for cross-chain or multiple wallets, I just note "why transfer here."
I don't need to be super professional, at least by the end of the year I won't be freaking out over a bunch of "unknown sources."
Anyway, I’d rather do two fewer transactions than spend the end of the year digging through my messy records like an archaeologist.
