    The estimated gas cost for a Bitcoin transaction can vary depending on network congestion and the complexity of the transaction. On average, it can range from 100 to 500 satoshis per byte. However, during times of high demand, the gas cost can increase significantly. It's always a good idea to check the current gas prices before making a transaction to ensure timely confirmation.

    The gas cost for a Bitcoin transaction is determined by the size of the transaction in bytes. Each byte of data in the transaction requires a certain amount of gas to be processed by the network. The more complex the transaction, the higher the gas cost. It's important to note that gas cost is separate from transaction fees, which are paid to miners for including the transaction in a block. Gas cost is paid to the network for processing the transaction.
