Every dated desk artifact is hashed and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps. Verify when we claimed what — yourself, without trusting us.
Provenance · Bitcoin-anchored timestamps
The desk’s claims are only worth something if the dates on them are real. So we hash every dated artifact — the papers, the receipts ledger, the Dispatch, the earnings watch list, the data files — into a manifest, and anchor that manifest to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps. Anyone can verify, cryptographically and without our cooperation, that an artifact existed in exactly its published form at the manifest’s time.
The desk publishes falsifiers before calls, watch lists before earnings, and corrections against its own headlines. All of that depends on one thing being true: that we wrote it when we say we wrote it. Platform timestamps require trusting the platform; our own dates require trusting us. A Bitcoin anchor requires trusting neither — the proof is in a chain nobody edits.
