Surprising facts from my new report on Bitcoin's UTXO set:

- 49% of UTXOs are sub 1000 sats

- 30% of UTXOs are inscriptions related

- 100k+ 10-year-old counterparty UTXOs store arbitrary data with fake multisig pub keys

โ€œ- 49% of UTXOs are sub 1000 satsโ€

This is not ideal?

On the main chain? No. It means theyโ€™re close to worthless

Not only worthless, but very close to becoming dust where they are basically worth 0 because it costs more than that in fees to move them.

P2TR keypath inputs weigh 230 Wu (57.5 vB), so P2TR outputs with 1000 sats are economically spendable at feerates up to 17.3 sats/vB.
