Well, first of all hi to everybody, i'm a newbie in this cryptocurrency thing, so a lot of doubts are in my mind these days.
I have this question, looking here for the answer I didn't found yet, basically the subject says it all.

If bitcoin transactions are irreversible, why some platforms (online wallets, exchanges, etc) need X confirmations to "validate" a transaction?
