I've been waiting for quite some time for my Bitcoin transaction to be confirmed, but it seems to be taking much longer than usual. Could you please explain why a bitcoin transaction might be delayed? I've heard about the blockchain's congestion issues and transaction fees, but I'm not entirely sure how they relate to the current situation. Also, is there anything I can do to expedite the process, or is it simply a matter of waiting for the network to catch up? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

The Bitcoin network has a fixed block size limit, which determines the maximum number of transactions that can be included in a block.
