I’ve always been fascinated by the future—where are we heading? But the real question is: "how do you keep your predictions accountable"? That’s where things get tricky. The first time I realized this, I was having dinner with Marcus. Marcus, the solar panel guy. I leaned over, full of confidence, and said, “Solar panels will be 30% cheaper in five years.” Naturally, Marcus took the $50 bet. I was so sure I’d win that I jotted it down in my trusty Google Diary... or at least, I think I did. Five years later? I couldn't even find the bet, let alone prove it. Which diary had I used? Was it still around? Who knows! Fast forward to a heated debate with my son about Bitcoin. "Bitcoin will hit a million dollars in five years!" I proclaimed, like some kind of financial oracle. My son, who was way more level-headed, chuckled and challenged me to a bet. The stakes? A kebab. High-calorie but low risk, right? Once again, I wrote it down in my diary. Bitcoin. Million dollars. Kebab. Easy to remember... except, well, I lost that one too. The note, not the bet. I mean, who loses a diary these days? Turns out, me. And it wasn’t just one diary. I couldn’t find it in my work diary (which disappeared when I changed jobs) or any of my other random notebooks floating around the house. I had no clue where my predictions went! That’s when I realized something: predictions are way too fun to lose track of. These bets, these bold calls about the future—they’re conversations that should stick. So I hatched a plan. My family was gathering soon, and I proposed that we all secretly write down our predictions and bury them in the backyard to be dug up five years later. It was the perfect mix of suspense and nostalgia. But as soon as I said it, it hit me—there’s got to be a better way! That’s how DateProphet came to life.
