=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=968662
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1790410492
This is average time to mine a block
(1790410492-1231006505)/968662
bts=577.5011402314323970255909
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 23 00:14:39 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 968869
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Sep 27 17:27:14 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 480.
The next fortnight happens in block
969696 and probably around this time:
