=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=973525
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1793175613
This is average time to mine a block
(1793175613-1231006505)/973525
bts=577.4566965854019307137148
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 11:16:53 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 974479
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Nov 3 17:21:46 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 482.
The next fortnight happens in block
973728 and probably around this time:
Thu Oct 29 16:53:56 UTC 2026
