Recently, when friends asked me about tax reporting, I realized: the most terrifying thing at the end of the year isn't losing money, but not being able to figure out where I’ve exchanged coins... I’m currently using a simple method: I keep the same naming conventions for on-chain addresses, exchange accounts, and cross-chain bridges, and at the end of the month, I pull a transaction history and put it into a spreadsheet, casually screenshot a few “large/strange” transactions as a memo, otherwise seeing a bunch of hashes would really make me forget everything on the spot.

And in the past couple of days, before and after that mainstream public chain upgrade, everyone in the group was guessing whether the project would migrate, but my first reaction was: don’t randomly move your positions just before, or you’ll have even more records to keep, and your tax report will be a mess... Honestly, I trust data more, not because I’m more rational, but because intuition is too good at deceiving me. Data at least won’t pretend nothing happened. For now, that’s how I’ll do it—anything to avoid freaking out a little less.
