Could you elaborate on the potential factors that contribute to congestion on the Bitcoin network? Is it primarily due to the limited block size, which restricts the number of transactions that can be included in each block? Or does it stem from an increased demand for transactions, outpacing the network's processing capacity? Additionally, are there any specific technical challenges or limitations that exacerbate the congestion, such as scalability issues or the complexity of validating transactions? Understanding these underlying causes would help us gain a more comprehensive perspective on the challenges facing the Bitcoin network.
