Could you elaborate on the reasons behind the lengthy confirmation time for Bitcoin transactions? I've noticed that compared to other payment methods, Bitcoin seems to lag behind in terms of speed. Is it due to the complexity of the blockchain technology? Or is it a limitation of the network's capacity? Additionally, does the number of transactions being processed at any given time affect the confirmation time? I'm curious to understand the technicalities behind this phenomenon and how it can be improved in the future.
