Every year during tax season, I regret: why didn't I keep my transaction records cleaner... On-chain swaps, cross-chain transfers, contract interactions—relying solely on memory is basically self-torture. Now I’m used to: every time I switch to a new wallet or strategy, I create a small table, recording the transaction hash, time, counterparty contract, and why I did this (even if it’s just “chasing hot topics” or “adding to a position”), then I also save the CSV exported from the block explorer and the results parsed by my own script, instead of trusting just one accounting tool.

Honestly, it’s like packing for a move: without labels, by the end of the year, opening the boxes just results in “what is this?” Recently, everyone’s talking about rate cut expectations, and when the dollar index moves, risk assets go haywire. I also dare not slack off anymore—when the market gets chaotic, trades become fragmented, and ultimately, it’s the organizer who ends up overwhelmed. Anyway, I’ll keep the raw data first, and figure out the rest slowly later.
