Factors Affecting Bitcoin Transaction Fees:
- Network Congestion: When the Bitcoin network is busy, fees tend to be higher as users compete to get their transactions included in the next block.
- Transaction Size: Larger transactions (in terms of data size) typically require higher fees, as they take up more space in the block.
- Fee Priority: If you're willing to wait longer for your transaction to be processed, you can choose a lower fee. For faster confirmations, a higher fee is recommended.
