100k sats seems like a good number

Depends on the person you ask.

Hot wallets = wallet you would walk around with $5 $55 $555 $5555 everyone is different

The rest in cold storage

Someone like Lutnick

$55,555

Hahs

1 million sats

2.5M sats.

Which is to say, to future proof against high fee environments in the future, I try to keep a minimum UTXO size of 2.5M sats.

How do you set the UTXO size? Isn’t that automatic?

If you not consolidating utxo round a million or half a million Satoshis.

So habhazard to be honest, depending on how my utxos look like, how expensive fees are, what I'm doing on lightning... My cold storage utxos are all different sizes, which is a GOOD thing btw.

Usually about 1m sats per UTXO.

i usually do an internal review every once in awhile of how many sats are hot, and if I feel the slightest bit of “oh shit” i move them to cold storage
