What is dust actually? Its not so obvious
It gets confusing because people seem to use the word in different ways. At protocol level, "dust" means an amount of 546 satoshis or less, or 294 satoshis if using SegWit. But some people use the word colloquially to simply mean "a small amount".
Actually, in the article, there is not a single mention of "dust".
The "dust" term was added by the OP replacing the original "
Dry Powder"
I don't know why he did it but it turned out more confusing than helpful.
I too thought of something else when reading the title, and I thinking of 3 billion in money that is left sitting on exchanges , something like the 1 billion in unused
Starbucks gift cards.
