The sun today is making people a bit lazy. I’m drinking cold brew, and suddenly it reminds me that the end of the month is coming—I need to sort out my taxes. Back when I filed at year-end, my transaction records were scattered here and there—truly a nightmare. Later I learned my lesson: after every operation, I just jot it down in a notebook right away—on-chain hashes, gas fees, the time of deposits/withdrawals—then take screenshots and save them to the cloud drive. Don’t trust those automated little tools; if you run a few transactions on-chain, it’ll still miss things, and you end up having to verify everything yourself. To put it plainly, screenshots are the safest, so you don’t end up scratching your head later.

These past couple of days, the feud between Layer2s over TPS and fees has been pretty heated. Honestly, whether one is faster or cheaper doesn’t really have much to do with me. I just need a reliable way to keep records, and I don’t want to step into the bridge’s risk minefield. Be steady—take the long view, and don’t rush to chase the hot topics. After all, treat the chain like the wind; when the wind dies down one day, the ledger is still there, and that’s what matters.
