=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=955096
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1782262588
This is average time to mine a block
(1782262588-1231006505)/955096
bts=577.1728766816354778624579
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Sun Mar 19 00:30:02 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 955559
predicted to happen at this time:
Sat Jun 27 03:10:19 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 473.
The next fortnight happens in block
955584 and probably around this time:
Sat Jun 27 07:10:48 UTC 2026
