Excuse me, could you please elaborate on the length of a Bitcoin address? I've heard conflicting information and am curious about the exact number of characters that typically comprise one. Is there a standard length that applies across all Bitcoin addresses, or does it vary depending on certain factors? I'd appreciate any clarification you can provide on this matter.
