Auditing the entire UTXO set (every spendable coin) took only 2min 13s on my (cheap) machine using one command:

`bitcoin-cli gettxoutsetinfo`

This is what I got:

Height: 901,112 → Current block height

txouts: 1.69B → Total unspent outputs (UTXOs)

total_amount: 19.87M BTC → Total spendable BTC in existence

transactions: 11.8M → Number of confirmed TXs in the chain

disk_size: 116GB → Size of UTXO set on disk

Time taken: ~2 minutes on a regular machine

Cost: 0 sats 💥

Bitcoin isn't just sound money — it's auditable, by anyone, from home, for free.
