Recently, the group has been sharing rumors about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and "de-pegging," which is exhausting to read... But honestly, what really frustrates me more at the end of the year isn't these things, but reconciling old transaction tax reports.

I used to think that just keeping a few screenshots of large transactions was enough, but when it came time to reconcile, I found that: transactions on the chain keep bouncing around, deposits and withdrawals on CEXs, cross-chain transfers, and even changing wallet addresses a few times, so the screenshots can't reconstruct the timeline at all, which drove me crazy. Now I’m more rigid: every deposit and withdrawal, I make a quick note (time, platform/blockchain, Tx hash, recipient address, purpose), and at the end of the month, I export the transaction history and store it on a read-only backup drive, separate from my regular computer to avoid being hacked or "stolen." It’s a bit more trouble, but way better than staring at a pile of "USDT outgoing" transactions in frustration at year’s end.
