I've been wondering if Bitcoin transactions have an expiration date. I mean, if I send some Bitcoins to someone, will that transaction eventually expire or is it permanent? Also, what happens if a transaction expires?

To accomplish this, you create a new transaction with the identical value.

After a period of time, your wallet automatically deletes a transaction.

This higher fee serves as an incentive for miners to prioritize your transaction.

Despite the deletion, you still intend to send the transaction.
