=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=947750
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1777827466
This is average time to mine a block
(1777827466-1231006505)/947750
bts=576.9669048093855875646662
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 16 12:25:32 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 948849
predicted to happen at this time:
Mon May 11 01:05:52 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 470.
The next fortnight happens in block
949536 and probably around this time:
Fri May 15 15:12:08 UTC 2026
