Every time I see discussions in the group about interest rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and risk assets starting to rise and fall together, my first reaction isn't whether I should rush in or hide, but: Oh no, this year trading is going to get busier again, and I’ll go crazy during year-end tax reporting... I don’t understand technical analysis, but at least I’ve learned one thing now: don’t rely on memory to piece together trades.

I’m pretty simple-minded: every time I deposit or withdraw funds, exchange currencies, or transfer on-chain, I just take a screenshot + write a note in my memo saying “Why I did this,” then put the exchange transaction history and wallet addresses into a folder by month. Basically, I leave evidence for my future self; otherwise, looking at a bunch of hashes later can make your scalp tingle. After once stepping on a landmine (like not being able to reconcile a statement), I’ve become more honest... For now, I’d rather make things a bit more troublesome than stare at a pile of records and zone out at year-end.
