The Real Bitcoin Concept
Transaction Fees & The Mempool
Every Bitcoin transaction includes a fee paid to miners as an incentive to include it in a block. When the network is busy, the mempool (memory pool) โ where unconfirmed transactions wait โ fills up, and fees spike as users compete for limited block space. This fee market is a feature, not a bug: it prevents spam and ensures the network remains sustainable long after the block reward diminishes to zero.
