Therefore, it would take ~18 days for all of these UTXOs to be spent just once, or added to a lightning channel.

For this reason, I don't like UTXOs that are smaller than 0.001 BTC. I don't want my outputs to be unspendable in the future.

A little math:

[There are currently 85,000,000 Bitcoin UTXOs.](https://www.blockchain.com/charts/utxo-count)

[The maximum number of UTXOs that can fit in a block is 32256](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/59408/with-100-segwit-transactions-what-would-be-the-max-number-of-transaction-confi)
