Wrapping it up
You might be wondering if it’s really worth all the trouble. Going through all these different platforms and getting all this data. The answer is: it depends. If you’re currently using one wallet to handle all your cryptocurrency and you’re not trading, but purely holding, your wallet might suffice in order for you to get basic analytics on your holdings. If you have several exchanges and wallets because you have bought different tokens only available in different exchanges in order to trade, you are in the right place.
ACCOINTING.com not only will help you connect all your transactions fast and accurately, but it will also provide you with a set of tools in order for you to track, manage and report your transactions to make better decisions to help you improve your portfolio’s performance.
