I'm curious about the confirmation process for a Bitcoin transfer. Could you please elaborate on how long it typically takes for a Bitcoin transaction to be fully confirmed on the blockchain? I understand that the network's congestion and the number of confirmations required can vary, but I'm looking for a general estimate. Is it a matter of minutes, hours, or even days? Additionally, what factors influence the confirmation time, and are there any strategies I can employ to expedite the process?

Due to the varying difficulty of mining blocks and the network's current state, the exact confirmation time can vary.

When initiating a Bitcoin transfer to another wallet, the transaction is broadcasted to the network and included in a block of transactions by miners.
