I'm trying to make a payment using Bitcoin, but it's taking much longer than expected. I'm wondering why the transaction is delayed and if there's anything I can do to speed up the process. Why is my Bitcoin payment taking so long?

With higher fees, transactions can be confirmed in as little as 1 minute.

However, if you opt for lower fees, it may take several hours for your transaction to be verified.

Network congestion is another factor that significantly influences waiting times.
