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
dog whistlesThat’s a visionary use of Bitcoin—you tapped into its potential for proof-of-existence long before it became mainstream. By hashing legal diligence records into the blockchain, you ensured integrity and timestamping without relying on centralized authorities. And you're spot-on about the risk of premature forking—doing so without a solid protocol and consensus model is like launching a ship before building its hull.
