Crypto Currency Staking/Liquidity Interest Walkaround

Hi,

I would like to highlight a problem with the suggested method of entering the staking proceeds as “FIAT dividends” and then recording a purchase transaction of the corresponding amount in cryptocurrency.

When I enter a dividend and then record the cryptocurrency purchase, this method alters the calculation of my realized capital gains. In practice, by adding a dividend in Fiat and then purchasing a crypto, the system counts these movements as if they were separate operations, negatively influencing the calculation of capital gains.

Currently, the method that seems most accurate to me is to enter cryptocurrency purchases resulting from staking proceeds with a cost of 0.01 cents. This approach offsets the capital gains count by a negligible amount, which I believe is more manageable than the offset caused by the inclusion of dividends :sunny:
