June 14, 21: DeFi Panic, More DeFi, Crashing, Oculus, TV, and Games

Not sure how, after weeks of researching and debating with myself and thinking and worrying, I never even considered the tax liability I would incur from getting “income” from DeFi. Still, today I managed to work myself into such a frenzy over money I haven’t even made that I literally made myself sick.

Had the wicked anxiety and churny stomach all day which developed into a nice stress headache…couldn’t manage to rip my brain away from tripping over and over, so in the afternoon all I could do was lay down to try and escape myself.

Slept for about three hours, which always helps with my mood and feeling good about being productive. 😛 Have to say that today was the worst day I’ve had in a very long time and I’ve got no one to blame but myself.

What, then, was my response? Did I pull out and say “forget it, too much risk”? Nope, I doubled down. 😆 I’m still only halfway vested with the dry powder I’ve got, but ETH has been going up a bit, so I’ve been trying to dollar cost average in slowly rather than taking a single price and swapping it all at once.

The bookkeeping with all these damn swaps and into and out of wrapped tokens and LP tokens and every fucking move you make is a taxable event is insane…all for a “voluntary” system.

Figure, like Churchill said “I spent half my life worrying about things that never happened.” I’ll just take it as it comes…can’t believe how fucked up a situation it is that I’m sick worried that I might make too much money. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves!

At the end of the day we have a vampiric predator that writes its own rules and we just have to “voluntarily” let it fuck us coming and going, ‘cause society and stuff.

This meme from Marky sums it up nicely:

And this one from Raymondspeaks, if only:

I decided that I can always pull out if it’s getting to be too much (that’s what he said). Also, might be able to offset with some capital losses through the year (cough, cough, CUB). As long as I do the extra KYC that Bittrex is asking for, I will have a road out to fiat, so I might be able to sell some assets next year to cover the income liability from this year.

Regardless, at this point I’ve made like $15, so I really don’t know why I’m so upset about it…guess it’s better to be mindful about it now than get myself into serious trouble later.

Tried to distract myself for a while by jacking into the Oculus. Played a round or two of Beat Saber and crushed a new perfect high score on expert and on video! 🤩 The controller tracking wasn’t too bad today, glitched through a couple times, but the overhead light does seem to help somewhat.

I really couldn’t think about anything else (except my head pounding), so I wasn’t able to accomplish anything at all and wasn’t even motivated to move let alone exercise, but I did do enough steps around the house to keep my streak alive.

Had some trouble getting to sleep, still kind of wired, but I was able to focus on some TV for a bit and get a little distracted. Otherwise, it is what it is.


We still continue to be in the double digits on dShitty. Not a big deal anymore, I suppose, don’t have any intention of ever buying a card again, so whatever I get just piles on Solairitas’ balance to earn more passive income (which is a joke anyway, but it’s something). Beyond that, meh.

No surprise, I did not get my Holybread tasks done today. What was a surprise was that I didn’t even get the quest task done. Didn’t actually bother to go in and check it five times today…actually, when you put it that way, messing with it more than fives times a day is quite a waste of time.

Still fourth and been several weeks without potions. Not advanced or anything, but they still aren’t voting, so it’s meaningless anyway.

Went in and started a water task on CryptoBrewmaster today, but that was about it. I need fermentables and none were available today, so just waiting for that and I can start another brew.


Got a couple more tasks done on Rising Star. Not really too much else to note for today, just pounding them out to try and advance my level and build up some bits.

Didn’t make any more from my record stake, but I’m just going to leave it sit for now. Thinking I’m probably going to need to get another fanboost card here soon in order to be able to to the next higher task.

Two days in a row now Splinterlands has been complete bullshit.

I’m definitely past done for the season. I’ll just wait for the reset and hope the rewards don’t suck as bad as I know they will.
