There are no bitcoins, just UTXOs😉
With number 6. - this is why we believe it is good to consolidate smaller UTXOs into a larger one.
but not so large... never keep all your bitcoin into a single UTXO.
Always size your UTXOs to be ready enough to open a decent LN channel.
Onchain UTXOs should be used exclusively for opening/closing LN channels.
You end up with small UTXOs because you are transacting too much onchain instead of LN.

Yep. Couldn't agree more!

What are the risks of having all your on-chain Bitcoin in one UTXO? I just condensed all 50 into only one now. But I DCA. So more will be on the way in larger chunks in the future.
