Can anyone give me any reasons as to why it is bad to consolidate other than privacy reasons? Even if privacy is a concern you can just send some to Lightning or another wallet and mix. I don’t see the issue with consolidating. If one does not consolidate tiny UXTO you might be completely fucked in a very high fee environment. What am I missing? Thanks #bitcoin

I don't see fees rising in bitcoin terms, but in relative (fiat?) terms. The wider is bitcoin spreading, the lesser UTXO's. Just can't figure out how we can divide 21 million coins between billions of people and still got 1kk sats UTXO's. Just don't see how transactions could be much higher than this in such environment.

Holding small UTXOs can potentially result in much or all of that bitcoin becoming practically immovable in the future due to the cost of transaction fees.
