Could you elaborate on whether rebroadcasting a Bitcoin transaction actually speeds up its confirmation time? Some in the
cryptocurrency community claim that rebroadcasting the same transaction with higher fees or resending the transaction multiple times can expedite the process. However, I'm curious if this is a misconception or if there's indeed merit to this approach. Do rebroadcasts increase the chances of miners including your transaction in the next block, or is it simply a waste of resources? I'd appreciate your insight on this matter, as the confirmation time for Bitcoin transactions can be quite variable and sometimes frustrating for users.

Transaction fees act as an incentive for miners to include your transaction in a block, thereby prioritizing its processing.
