I've sent some Bitcoins, but the transaction is still unconfirmed. I'm wondering what exactly happens to unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions and whether they will eventually go through or be lost forever.

An unconfirmed BTC transaction signifies that it has yet to gain validation from the network.

The mempool serves as a queue of sorts for transactions waiting to be processed.

Miners are responsible for selecting transactions from the mempool to include in a new block.

This lack of confirmation implies that the transaction has not been officially recorded in the blockchain.

Transactions that are pending confirmation are held in a temporary holding area.
