    A typical Bitcoin address is usually 26-35 characters long. It consists of alphanumeric characters and starts with either '1', '3', or 'bc1'. The length of the address can vary depending on the type of address used. For example, legacy addresses start with '1' and are 26-34 characters long, while SegWit addresses start with '3' or 'bc1' and are 27-35 characters long.
