While the decreasing duration of each epoch's final block may appear to be a consequence of rising hashrate, this is not the case. These block times are 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦.

The Difficulty Adjustment every 2016 blocks, or about every 2 weeks, keeps blocks within a 10 minute timeframe 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲, not with each individual block. Some blocks within a difficulty period will be found in mere 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀, while others will take an hour or more. But zoomed-out, they tend to take about 10 minutes.

With the next halving only a couple days away, how long do you think block 839999 will last before block 840000 is found?
