Year-end tax filing used to be a last-minute scramble for me, flipping through transaction records until I doubted my life…

Later I learned my lesson: every time I open or close a position, deposit or withdraw, I casually take a screenshot/export and put it into a folder, naming it by date + platform + action, don’t rely on memory.
On-chain transactions are even more troublesome, especially with cross-chain bridges that recently had issues, where a transaction gets stuck, rolled back, reissued, and if you don’t match it later, you’ll just go crazy.

And those occasional oracle glitches, everyone in the group is shouting “waiting for confirmation,” I now agree—better to record late than to treat abnormal trades as real trades.
Honestly, if leverage can be controlled, records must also be controlled; otherwise, year-end isn’t about taxes, it’s about mental state.
That’s it for now, don’t ask me how disciplined I am, I just rely on being afraid of the hassle.
