How to Verify a Prediction Was Published Before the Date

Every prediction video on this channel is published before the trading days it predicts. You do not have to take our word for that — or YouTube's, or Discord's. This page shows you how to check it yourself in about five minutes, with free tools, and what the check does and does not prove.

What gets published with every video

1. A SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact video file. It's the long string of letters and numbers in every YouTube description and Discord caption. Change one frame of the video and the fingerprint changes.

2. An OpenTimestamps proof. Right after the video is finished, its fingerprint is submitted to OpenTimestamps, a free public service that writes fingerprints into the Bitcoin blockchain. A Bitcoin block can't be edited or back-dated by anyone — not by us, not by Bitcoin's developers. That block's time is the latest possible moment the file could have been created.

3. The platform dates. The YouTube publish date and the Discord post time are extra witnesses. They're convenient, but they depend on those companies. The Bitcoin proof doesn't.

Check a video yourself

Step 1 — Get the file. Download the video from YouTube (any downloader, e.g. yt-dlp) or take the original MP4 from Discord, where members get the same file.

Step 2 — Fingerprint it. Mac or Linux, in Terminal: shasum -a 256 "the-file.mp4". Windows, in Command Prompt: certutil -hashfile "the-file.mp4" SHA256. The result must match the SHA-256 in the description. If it doesn't, you have a re-encoded or edited copy — use the original.

Step 3 — Check the Bitcoin timestamp. Open opentimestamps.org, drop in the video's .ots proof file (from the monthly package below), then the video itself when asked. The site reports the Bitcoin block that contains the fingerprint and the date and time of that block. Prefer the command line? pip install opentimestamps-client, then ots verify "the-file.mp4.ots".

Step 4 — Compare. The Bitcoin block time is when the finished video already existed. Compare it with the dates called in the video. That is the proof: the calls were on record before the days they describe.

Proof files

October 2026 proof package (all assets: SPY dailies + SPY, BTC, NIFTY, CLSK, MSFT monthlies) — download PROOFS 2026-10.zip. It contains one .ots file per video and a CSV listing each video's fingerprint, when it was stamped, and the Bitcoin block(s) it lives in. New months get their own package. A brand-new video's proof is 'pending' for a couple of hours until Bitcoin mines the block; after that it's permanent.

What this proves — and what it doesn't

It proves the file existed, unchanged, before a specific Bitcoin block — and therefore before the days it predicts. It does not prove the prediction was right. Whether the calls were right is a separate question, answered the only honest way: every call graded against the real chart after the fact, hits and misses alike, in the accuracy posts on this blog.

Questions about the method, or a proof that won't verify? Say so in the comments or in the Discord — a proof that doesn't check out is a bug we want to know about.
