=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=946242
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1776900322
This is average time to mine a block
(1776900322-1231006505)/946242
bts=576.9065842495003926052821
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 15 18:49:55 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 946649
predicted to happen at this time:
Sat Apr 25 16:38:42 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 469.
The next fortnight happens in block
947520 and probably around this time:
Fri May 1 12:13:28 UTC 2026
