I'm trying to send Bitcoin, but the transaction is taking way too long to complete. I've been waiting for hours and it still hasn't gone through. Why is sending Bitcoin so slow?

This is because miners receive rewards for processing transactions and are incentivized to choose those with higher fees.

As a result, if your transaction fee is low, it may take longer to be processed.
