Benjamin Cowen called it:

So my sort of base case with dominance is that if Bitcoin does get a correction, it is certainly possible that dominance could sort of wane a little bit longer before spiking, but I do believe that Bitcoin dominance will go back up to 66%, like I think it will go back up near the highs before you get any type of alt season, if that makes sense, right?

On the record 0 days and counting. Nobody can edit it, including Benjamin.

Not scored🔒 Preserved — not scoredPrediction

This will never resolve. No objective test could be drawn from these words without inventing criteria the speaker never set, so it is preserved rather than scored. It stays on the record as something said on a date, and is never counted for or against anyone.

No objective test could be drawn from these words, so nothing can settle it. The statement is preserved and dated, and never counted for or against anyone. Thonest will not invent a threshold or a date that was never said — a claim scored against criteria written afterwards would prove nothing.

Corrected · Statement corrected to the source transcript wording.

Registered wording came from the extraction model's normalized claim rather than the source itself. The statement of record is now the verbatim excerpt from the source at 3619s. Was: "I do believe that Bitcoin dominance will go back up to 66%" Source says: "So my sort of base case with dominance is that if Bitcoin does get a correction, it is certainly possible that dominance could sort of wane a little bit longer before spiking, but I do believe that Bitcoin dominance will go back up to 66%, like I think it will go back up near the highs before you get any type of alt season, if that makes sense, right?" The original record and its anchor remain in history unchanged; this correction is appended.

✓ The anchored proof cannot be rewritten, and the published record is append-only by default. Everything that happened afterward is in the history above — corrections are appended, never silently edited in.

Verify this record yourself

The check runs in your browser and reads the anchored root straight from a public Base node — not from Thonest. How this works.
