I tend to impulsively place orders quickly, and by the end of the year, I check my trading records and see everything falling apart... So recently, I made a "version update" for myself: V1 only focuses on candlestick charts, thinking that tax matters are far from me; V2 started monitoring on-chain fund movements during the day, and in the evening, I casually add each transfer/exchange/derivative open and close into a spreadsheet while having coffee, also saving screenshots, at least not relying solely on memory.
Especially now, everyone is comparing RWA, or the yields of US bonds, to on-chain yield products. Honestly, the returns look quite attractive, but with more transactions, failing to leave traces in reporting just invites trouble. Anyway, my current principle is simple: not aiming for perfect bookkeeping, just keeping track of "what has happened," and when it’s time to report, I can slowly reconcile. That’s it for now—don’t wait until December to pretend to be dead.
