I don't see how it affects privacy, if you have 10 UTXO on 10 addresses or 10 UTXO on 1 address, but it's still 10 UTXO. What people should avoid is DCA on chain with small amounts and heigh frequency.

The recent high fees got me thinking about UTXO management. Here are some of my thoughts:

Having many UTXOs is more private, however in a high fee environment many of those UTXO are dust. Moving many UTXOs at once will also be more costly.

Less UTXOs means less privacy, but it also means less fees.

I don’t know what fees will look like in the future, but if Bitcoin continues to grow I expect on chain fees to grow as well.

I’m leaning more towards consolidating UTXOs since I plan on hodling for a while, but I know privacy will be as important (if not more important) in the future as it is now.
