This is especially true if we have UTXOs smaller than the transaction fee. In such cases, our BTC becomes impractical to send, as the fee would surpass the UTXO value. Therefore, when receiving Bitcoin/ managing our wallets, it's crucial to consider future fee scenarios.

For instance, if fees rise to $25 in five years, having numerous small UTXOs, each worth less than $25, renders our entire stack unusable. So, how do we get around this?

For me, I approach UTXO management by accumulating purchases on exchanges until reaching an amount that I would feel uncomfortable losing, say ~$500, before withdrawing to a hardware wallet. This strategy ensures UTXOs remain sufficiently sized as fees continue to rise.
