=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=975014
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1794104105
This is average time to mine a block
(1794104105-1231006505)/975014
bts=577.5271149674620390455531
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 23 07:49:13 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 975579
predicted to happen at this time:
Wed Nov 11 20:53:27 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 483.
The next fortnight happens in block
975744 and probably around this time:
Thu Nov 12 23:21:39 UTC 2026
