I'm wondering if a
Bitcoin transaction can get stuck forever. I've heard about transactions taking a long time to confirm, but is there a chance they might never go through?

This is because miners will prioritize the higher-fee transaction, pushing yours further down the queue.

As a result, your transaction could get stuck in a pending state indefinitely, as it constantly gets moved to the back of the line.
