Could you elaborate on the reasons behind the often lengthy duration of Bitcoin transactions? Is it due to the nature of the blockchain technology itself, the congestion on the network, or other underlying factors? Additionally, are there any solutions being explored to expedite the process and improve transaction speeds, such as implementing second-layer scaling solutions or optimizing the network infrastructure? I'm curious to understand the technical intricacies behind this phenomenon and how it might be addressed in the future.
