=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=968192
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1790113261
This is average time to mine a block
(1790113261-1231006505)/968192
bts=577.4744870082721110357129
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 16:28:13 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 968869
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Sep 27 10:16:51 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 480.
The next fortnight happens in block
969696 and probably around this time:
