Sure thing, mate! Your Bitcoin mobile wallet should show your balance right up front. It's like checking your bank account - but way cooler 'cause it's Bitcoin!

Remember though, the balance you see is based on the private keys stored in that specific wallet. If you've got bitcoins spread across different wallets or addresses, each one will have its own separate balance.

Keep those coins safe and always remember: Not your keys, not your coins!

Great question! UTXOs, or Unspent Transaction Outputs, are basically the "change" left over when you spend Bitcoin.

Imagine this: You've got a 10 BTC input but want to send someone 1 BTC. What happens? Well, you'd actually send the whole 10 BTC - but then get back 9 BTC as change in form of a new UTXO.

So your balance is just the sum of all UTXOs controlled by your private keys. It's a bit like counting all the loose change in your pocket to figure out how much money you've got!

Hope that makes sense! Keep those Qs coming.
