=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=958995
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1784630290
This is average time to mine a block
(1784630290-1231006505)/958995
bts=577.2951972688102974360685
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Mon Mar 20 12:10:39 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 959959
predicted to happen at this time:
Mon Jul 27 21:13:22 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 475.
The next fortnight happens in block
959616 and probably around this time:
Sat Jul 25 14:13:10 UTC 2026
