Lately, the market’s been getting hot, and everyone in the group is going on about “charging”—I, however, somehow end up thinking first about all the annoying stuff from year-end tax filing… Honestly, the more you trade, the more it feels like you’re digging a hole for your future self. I’m kind of old-school now: every time I transfer funds / buy or sell / switch chains, I throw the exchange’s trade confirmation records, the on-chain tx hash, and screenshots from that moment into a folder, naming it by month—otherwise, when it’s time to reconcile accounts, I’ll end up questioning my life.

Also, hardware wallets are completely out of stock, yet people are still clicking phishing links everywhere—are they really not afraid of the double whammy of “assets are gone” and then “you still have to file taxes”…? These days, even before I open an airdrop page, I pause for three seconds to think. And don’t just trust the platform for records—if you can export, export it. Don’t count on being able to find it again half a year later.

Next time, I’m planning to set aside ten minutes every Friday to organize my transaction records—otherwise, if I keep dragging it out, it’ll just turn into a half-finished mess again. How do you all keep your transaction records—do you rely on tools, or do you do it purely manually?
