- Dec 06, 2021 · 3 years agoThe time it takes for a bitcoin transfer to be confirmed can vary depending on network congestion. On average, it takes about 10 minutes for a bitcoin transfer to be confirmed. However, during times of high network activity, it can take longer, sometimes up to an hour or more. It's important to note that the confirmation time is not controlled by any individual or organization, but rather by the decentralized nature of the bitcoin network.
- Dec 06, 2021 · 3 years agoWhen you initiate a bitcoin transfer, it is added to a pool of unconfirmed transactions called the mempool. Miners then select transactions from the mempool to include in the next block of the blockchain. The confirmation time depends on how quickly a miner includes your transaction in a block. Miners prioritize transactions with higher transaction fees, so if you want your transfer to be confirmed faster, you can choose to include a higher fee. However, keep in mind that fees can fluctuate depending on network demand.
