Collecting D$'s predictions from the various banks and ATMs into one thread (aka the Vault). Starting with June 2023. Your money is always safe in the vault.
Criteria for the predictions:
Hit Rate: 53/63 (84.1%)
2025 Predictions
2024 Predictions
2023 Predictions
Criteria for the predictions:
- Multiple predictions can't include the same commit but with different time durations. If that happens, its a push.
- If there are conflicting predictions and the last prediction happens at least 48 hours prior to the commitment, it will be ruled a Push if the last prediction is correct. Otherwise, its a miss.
