=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=970540
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1791497148
This is average time to mine a block
(1791497148-1231006505)/970540
bts=577.5033131006315034604411
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Thu Mar 23 00:52:41 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 971179
predicted to happen at this time:
Tue Oct 13 04:36:12 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 481.
The next fortnight happens in block
971712 and probably around this time:
Fri Oct 16 18:06:21 UTC 2026
