Plebs must consolidate UTXOs over time to ensure they don't become so small in value that they are effecritively unspendable as the average fee goes up with demand.

In this way, #Bitcoin is not actually free to hold: there is maintenance "fees" and a manual cognitive cost to users for ensuring most their value remains spendable.

That depends on what you think the fee will be at the time you plan to spend. If hyperbitcoinization happened today, how many UTXOs would be stranded?

Slow down & breathe then. Hyperbitcoinization isn't happening today.

Like fiat dollars, keep some 1s, some 5s, a few 10s and 20s, maybe a couple 50s, and a 100. I used to say, "carry some quarters too," but those days are past. 😉
