A client's Koinly said he made a huge gain on an NFT he never paid for.
He paid for it. Koinly just couldn't see it.
This is the Solana bidding problem, and it quietly costs people a lot of money
His gain went from "all of it" to the actual gain.
That's most of my job now. Ex-Big 4, 600k+ transactions in.

So we did. Counted every SOL that left. Every SOL that came back. Found the gap.
Matched the gap to the bid that got accepted. Priced that SOL at market on that date.
That's the cost basis. It was always there, just not in the export.
It’s not the big trades that get people.
It’s the small ones:
– airdrops taxed as income
– bridge transfers flagged as disposals
– “rebates” treated as income
Surprises are normal. Preparation isn’t optional.

📊 Accounting has always been about trust. What changes is the tool in your hand.
From checkbooks to spreadsheets… now blockchains. Each generation had its system.
Today’s is faster, more global, and far more complex.
The question is: can your records keep up?
Blockchain may rewrite accounting, but clarity and compliance will always be the constants.

Will we see a “crypto passport”?
A new U.S.–U.K. plan aims to simplify cross-border crypto rules, but taxes may not travel as smoothly. Until details are clear, investors still need to track everything, everywhere.
