Could you elaborate on the concept of bitcoin mining fees? I'm curious to understand how these fees are determined and what factors influence their amount. Are they fixed or variable? Do they vary depending on the complexity of the mining process or the number of miners involved? Additionally, how do these fees impact the overall profitability of bitcoin mining? I'm interested in understanding the economic incentives behind bitcoin mining and how these fees fit into the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Transactions within the Bitcoin network are bundled into blocks, which serve as containers for transactions to be processed by miners.

In such scenarios, miners have to allocate more resources to process the increased workload, resulting in higher mining fees.

Therefore, as the transaction size grows and the number of participants rises, the mining fees also tend to increase accordingly.

Each block has a capacity limit, typically set at 4 MB. This means that the number of transactions that can be accommodated in a single block is limited.
