Is Bitcoin having network issues today? ›

There is no ongoing event on the Bitcoin network.

What is Bitcoin? It is a digital currency, created in 2009, by an unknown person(s) using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized network of computers using blockchain technology to manage transactions and record keeping.

On the Bitcoin network, the average confirmation time for a BTC payment is about 10 minutes. However, transaction times can vary wildly. This is because it is affected by factors such as the total network activity, hashrate and transaction fees.

Coinbase puts safeguards in place to prevent potential loss from irreversible transactions. In some situations, accounts may be temporarily restricted from sending cryptocurrency off the Coinbase platform for a period of time.

Bitcoin's dominance is currently 53.27%, according to CoinMarketCap. BTC volume in the last 24 hours fell 3.2% to $24.26 billion.

Bitcoin is a risky investment with high volatility, and generally should be considered only if you have a high risk tolerance, are in a strong financial position already and can afford to lose some or all of your investment.

As Bitcoin has also become accepted as a medium of exchange, stores value, and is recognized as a unit of account, it is considered money.

It takes some time for the transactions to get confirmed on the blockchain and depending on the fees you selected, it may take from 1 minute to several hours. Network congestion also has a big impact on how long you need to wait. If many people are doing transactions right now, it will increase the waiting time.

What is the longest a bitcoin transaction can take? ›

Bitcoin's transaction times can vary greatly, ranging anywhere from ten minutes to one day. However, it will usually take between thirty minutes and two hours to complete the process. It is worth keeping in mind that the average transaction time tends to be around one hour.

Usually the delay is under an hour and the transaction will eventually go through normally. Occasionally, transactions aren't accepted by the rest of the network and therefore are never considered confirmed.

If you set your Bitcoin Transaction Fee too low it can remain unconfirmed for days or even months. If the network is continuously busy – especially during bull markets – and the fee you set is lower than everyone else then it won't get confirmed until things cool down, but this can take a long time!

You can also send to one of your own by Bitcoin wallets by tapping "My Wallets" and selecting the wallet to send to.
