I started using bitcoin for proof of state hashes in 2012. Using it to store value was not my first use case. I would store legal diligence proofs as hashes. Forking it before you have the protocol to actually achieve it in place is probably not a good idea.

If you're referring to Proof of Stake, Bitcoin has never operated on that algorithm which relies on the amount of coins you have to stake. Bitcoin has always used PoW; Proof of Work which requires miners to use computational power to compete for the next block.

You may need to check back what coin you were using or maybe explain your question better.

Nigga is even talking about proof of state and not even proof of stake, maybe you thought he made a mistake which I do not think so. Ther is such thing as proof of state.

A state proof is a record of the current state of the blockchain at a particular point in time. This state proof can be verified by anyone, enabling them to validate that the attested state of the blockchain is correct at that point in time.

State proofs use digital signatures to prove their authenticity. Once a state proof has been digitally signed using a private key, anyone can validate the digital signature using the corresponding private key. This both ensures that the signed data was generated by the alleged author and demonstrates that it has not been modified since it was digitally signed.

How Does a State Proof Work?
A state proof is designed to summarize the current state of the blockchain in a way that is easily verifiable and difficult to forge.

Although like you mentioned, bitcoin uses proof of work and not proof of state. So he needs to prove to us how he used proof of state on bitcoin
