Why is my BTC confirmation taking so long?

CryptoLegend CryptoLegend Sat Nov 30 2024 | 6 answers 1465
I sent some BTC but the transaction is taking unusually long to confirm. I'm wondering why it's not going through quickly like it usually does. Is there a problem with the network or something else causing the delay? Why is my BTC confirmation taking so long?

This limit is primarily governed by the space available within each block.

Specifically, the 'block size' in Bitcoin is set to 1MB.

This means that once a block reaches its 1MB capacity, it can no longer include additional transactions until a new block is created.

The reason behind the delay in some Bitcoin transaction confirmations lies in the structure of the blockchain.

Each block in the Bitcoin blockchain can accommodate only a limited number of transactions.
