=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=967295
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1789571922
This is average time to mine a block
(1789571922-1231006505)/967295
bts=577.4503533561598517930395
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 22 09:25:53 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 967769
predicted to happen at this time:
Sat Sep 19 19:20:33 UTC 2026
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 479.
The next fortnight happens in block
967680 and probably around this time:
Sat Sep 19 05:04:00 UTC 2026
