I'm curious to understand the intricacies of the Bitcoin blockchain. Could you elaborate on the duration it takes for a single Bitcoin block to be mined? Does this time vary, and if so, what factors influence it? I've heard that the difficulty of mining increases over time, so does this mean the time for a block to be mined also increases? Additionally, are there any limitations or maximum times for a block to be mined? I'd appreciate a concise yet comprehensive explanation of this crucial aspect of the Bitcoin network.

The significant gap in timestamps between the genesis block and the subsequent block indicates an unusual delay in the block generation process.
