With a password-protected file that is dl before an event is supposed to happen does not really need a timestamp.
If I'll read this thread next year then I will not know if you edited your post or not. But you cannot edit block chain.
Posts show last edit if you hover over the time... I'll edit this one.

If you trust the admins here, posting the hash is easy enough. Putting it in the blockchain is complicated, but it allows for a trustless timestamp.

So a hash is used to prove the timing of the message, and it is not the message itself? Just want to be clear on this methodology so that noobs can better put it into practice...
1. sha-256("So a hash is used to prove the timing of the message, and it is not the message itself? Just want to be clear on this methodology so that noobs can better put it into practice...") = e48015191601f6621a7ca18f6eefa90c583b9faad3c6d009eef7fd80d39efc6c
2. ripemd-160("e48015191601f6621a7ca18f6eefa90c583b9faad3c6d009eef7fd80d39efc6c") = c439421c3b5c5c695f9d2b5d942748a65960609f
3. bitcoinAddress("c439421c3b5c5c695f9d2b5d942748a65960609f") = 1JtY2yLHmG2yVGhWafVZSup9UJQnYyHNsr
4. sent 1 Satoshi to address "1JtY2yLHmG2yVGhWafVZSup9UJQnYyHNsr" and this will appear in block chain (for ever) => you CAN PROVE (timestamp) when this satoshi was sent.
[edit]
5. address("1JtY2yLHmG2yVGhWafVZSup9UJQnYyHNsr") = public-key("So a hash is used to prove the timing of the message, and it is not the message itself? Just want to be clear on this methodology so that noobs can better put it into practice...") => you proved message, it is you who know public-key => you now message
It's easy to prove you were right if something happens tomorrow without revealing so called "insider information" today. Create a document describing what's going to happen, and upload the hash to blockchain. This way we can verify that cause of the crash was known to you before. Otherwise... you know. GTFO 
That is a really interesting use of the Blockchain. It is like mailing a letter to yourself, but a bit more secure.
I'm naive here. Once the hash is on the blockchain, how do you unlock and share it? Or?
A hash is a different thing entirely from encryption. A hash takes data and scrambles it. It will always scramble the same data the same way, but there is no way to recover the data from the hash. By publishing the hash you establish that at the time of publication you had access to the data. When you later reveal the data, the hash can be verified.

If you are so sure of this prediction, you should write it down in a textfile, then compress it with a nice and long sting as password. You then post a link to the compressed file here, and give the password after "the event".
+1. That ought to be the standard practice on this forum anytime someone comes in claiming to know some huge news but "can't reveal it until afterwards."

There is nothing to worry about. The virtual currencies used for crimes are plethora and capitalized in hundreds of billions. That problem predates Bitcoin by decades and will continue to avoid Bitcoin as it is far more traceable than offshore virtual banks.

Regulation only affects acquiring bitcoins. The fundamentals do not change. Speculators have already taken this into account.
And this is why I'm a noob. I have no idea how that relates to my prediction.
