Great read from TheGuySwann (npub1h8n…rpev) on the importance of UTXO consolidation. I had naively believed that if one controlled several smaller UTXO these could be efficiently consolidated at any time but in fact each UTXO is encumbered by its own private key which means that a signature is needed for all inputs in a transaction and there is little efficiency gained by consolidating during a spend.
