=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=904355
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1751838345
This is average time to mine a block
(1751838345-1231006505)/904355
bts=575.9146176948016046778038
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Fri Mar 3 17:30:29 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 904409
predicted to happen at this time:
Mon Jul 7 06:24:04 UTC 2025
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 448.
The next fortnight happens in block
905184 and probably around this time:
Sat Jul 12 10:22:58 UTC 2025
