Legacy vs taproot address and fees

Bitcoin Reddit

More / Bitcoin Reddit 91 Views

Hi, I've been more or less ignorant regarding taproot and even segwit. I have a legacy BTC wallet (address starts with 1) which I imported to Exodus (it's been created in Jaxx originally) by entering 12-word seed phrase, you know.
Recently I sent a transaction and the fee was north of $1.8 and when I reviewed the tx on mempool.space I noticed that it says no segwit or taproot support which might mean more than 40% worth of fee saved if Taproot was in place.
So I went ahead and enabled Taproot in my Exodus wallet and now I have two addresses, legacy (starts with 1N) and Taproot (bc1p) but I am unsure what to do next. Should I transfer all my remaining BTC to the new address by sending them (haven't tried this yet) so my future transaction fees are reduced and other benefits of Taproot are applied; or should I create a completely new Bitcoin wallet and transfer to it ditching the old one altogether?
