Could you elaborate on the concept of "broadcast transaction - mempool - 
Bitcoin explorer" in the context of cryptocurrency? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how a transaction is broadcasted onto the Bitcoin network, how it enters the mempool, and how a Bitcoin explorer can be used to track and analyze these transactions. What are the key steps involved in the process? Additionally, how does the mempool work and what factors determine whether a transaction is prioritized for inclusion in a block? Lastly, how can a Bitcoin explorer provide valuable insights into the transaction lifecycle and the state of the network?

    Depending on the network's configuration, transactions can be broadcasted to the Mainnet, Signet, or Testnet. Each network serves a different purpose, with Mainnet being the primary network for real-world transactions.

    To ensure the validity and propagation of these transactions, they must be broadcasted to the respective blockchain networks.

    For Bitcoin, one common method of broadcasting a transaction is through the mempool, a temporary holding area for transactions waiting to be confirmed.

    Using the transaction's hash, a user or service can submit the transaction to the mempool for propagation across the Bitcoin network.
