=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=957189
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1783522521
This is average time to mine a block
(1783522521-1231006505)/957189
bts=577.2271085155507266060029
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Sun Mar 19 16:19:06 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 957759
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Jul 12 10:19:00 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 474.
The next fortnight happens in block
957600 and probably around this time:
Sat Jul 11 08:49:21 UTC 2026
