-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is Ene1980 from bitcointalk
Just for the record... that is a really bad message... it doesn't include the date, or the purpose for the message... someone could possibly use that message, address and signature to impersonate you on other platforms... For instance, someone could create a Telegram account called @ene1980_ and then send someone that signed message and say "see, I'm Ene1980 from Bitcointalk, you can trust me".

Signed messages should always be dated, and state the purpose of the message. So in this instance, a better message would be:
