For me, I approach UTXO management by accumulating purchases on exchanges until reaching an amount that I would feel uncomfortable losing, say ~$500, before withdrawing to a hardware wallet. This strategy ensures UTXOs remain sufficiently sized as fees continue to rise.

Additionally, fees fluctuate— they're not on an endless upward march. During periods of lower fees, it's a good time to consolidate your UTXOs. With @SparrowWallet, it's simple. Just choose the UTXOs you want to consolidate, pay the transaction fee, and presto!

You'll have a single UTXO instead of multiple smaller ones.

In conclusion, UTXOs matter. While they may sound like technical jargon gobbledegook, it's vital to grasp their significance, especially with the potential for rising transaction fees.

If you use the lightning network to transfer your Bitcoin wouldn't it be a way around this problem?

You have to get your bitcoin from chain onto the lightning network.

High fees can make this unfeasible.
