Could you elaborate on the reason behind the necessity of confirmations in Bitcoin transactions? As a cryptocurrency user, I've often noticed that transactions aren't immediately finalized. What role do these confirmations play in ensuring the security and validity of transactions? Is it a measure to prevent double-spending or are there other benefits? Also, how many confirmations are typically required for a transaction to be considered secure? Understanding this process would help me gain a deeper insight into the workings of the Bitcoin network.
