I’m doing my taxes right now with @CoinTracker, and paying $1,181 for the software alone feels kind of insane.
And this wasn’t from doing anything crazy.
This was from using @base the way people keep saying we should.
- Providing liquidity.
- Trading.
- Minting.
- Coining content.
- Using the @baseapp.
- Claiming rewards.
- Just normal onchain activity.
We keep saying we want everything onchain. Content onchain. Gaming onchain. Rewards onchain. Payments onchain. Agents making micro transactions onchain. But then tax season hits and the message becomes: be careful how much you use it, because the reporting bill might punish you for it.
That makes no sense. If the future of crypto is higher-frequency, lower-value activity across apps, creators, games, and agents, then tax tooling cannot keep scaling like this and expect normal people to stay.
Cheap transactions do not mean much if the back end hits users with a four-figure bill just to make sense of their activity.
That is not how you bring the world onchain.
