=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=969117
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1790665207
This is average time to mine a block
(1790665207-1231006505)/969117
bts=577.4928357537472217005565
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 21:49:20 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 969969
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Oct 4 23:40:30 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 480.
The next fortnight happens in block
969696 and probably around this time:
Sat Oct 3 03:52:55 UTC 2026
