I'm wondering if there's a possibility that a Bitcoin transaction, due to some technical issues or network delays, might never get confirmed. Could a Bitcoin transaction remain unconfirmed indefinitely? Can a Bitcoin transaction never be confirmed?

This can happen due to various reasons, such as a low transaction fee, which may not incentivize miners to process it.

Miners play a crucial role in this process by confirming transactions before they are finalized.

Once confirmed, transactions are added to the blockchain, which serves as a public ledger.
