I think you also reduce your privacy for another reason: if you go to spend a huge UTXO in the future, won’t the recipient get to also see the “change” that you get back, and better understand how much bitcoin you have?
@rufuspipemos4 ай бұрын
I think so. But if you are using a cold wallet, and you protect your seed, I don't know if it would matter. I "think" it is more of a problem on exchanges where there is a KYC requirement (Know Your Client.)

I love Bitcoin, but this is why mass adoption isn't happening. Way too complicated for the vast majority of people.
@Joe99 Жыл бұрын
Agreed, it shows how early we still are. Interacting with the main chain won't be for the everyday user one day, and all this stuff will probably be abstracted away.
@JaffytaffyBTC4 ай бұрын
Once mass adoption is reached, society will not be using the base layer for everyday payments. On-chain transactions will still be used but instead for larger, more important store of value transactions mostly. Plus, on-chain transaction fees will be too large due to network usage and congestion, making most small transactions dust. Everyday payments will be made using a Layer 2 solution, such as Lightning.

@@Joe99 "abstracted away" that's a good way to put it. Unfortunately most people won't self custody their BTC and will use custodial solutions *hopefully not* run but mega corps.

I don't understand the privacy part because technically speaking, sending ALL Bitcoin from all UTXO's/wallet addresses to a new single address does not necessarily mean it belongs to the same person. Isn't that exactly what someone would do if they gained access to your wallet to steal all the Bitcoin? They would just send it out to a new address. So the privacy argument doesn't make much sense. You can even claim that's exactly what happened - someone stole the Bitcoin to a new address you don't control. In either scenarios, no 3rd party would be able to deduce whether you control the new address or not, unless it's a custodial KYC wallet. What am I missing here?

Lets say you want to use the consolidated BTC to buy a house or convert it to fiat, the IRS could see that you just acquired some real state at the same time you sent your UTXOs. Now, I don't know the details on how the IRS could potentially prove you own that BTC.

@aantonop --- I'm thinking of buying BTC fractions and putting them into cold storage/self custody, do I need to consolidate them? When should I?
@teemupleb19 сағат бұрын
Consolidate them when fees are low. If you want to spend from your balance later in a high fee environment, some of the "dust" UTXOs can become economically unspendable (fees are higher than the amount of BTC you're sending).
