=====================================
Bitcoin Block Halving prediction
=====================================
bc=928638
gbt=1231006505
bbt=1766197553
This is average time to mine a block
(1766197553-1231006505)/928638
bts=576.3176519616341764668509
Now let's multiply that by 1050000
which is the block number of next
halving and get the prediction:
Wed Mar 8 15:03:35 UTC 2028
-------------------------------------
Next palindrome will be 928829
predicted to happen at this time:
Sun Dec 21 09:00:29 UTC 2025
-------------------------------------
Current mining epoch number is 460.
The next fortnight happens in block
929376 and probably around this time:
Thu Dec 25 00:34:35 UTC 2025
