Does this refer to this topic? ✅ Stake your Bitcoin address.. but it seems I guessed wrong, because the thread was created before your thread, rather than the Btc Addy stake thread

but, as far as i know, staking BTC address in forum, whether in btt or in altcoinstalks, is intended to prove ownership of related account... so it functions like binding between account and address... when hacking occurs or you forget your password, you can request to reset password

A digital signature of a Bitcoin address is required to verify a legitimate ownership as your account can be hacked at any time. And this digital signature can never be faked.  And it can provide whoever owns that bitcoin address.  And that's why a primary address is said to be staked as security so that by signing messages to that address, a legitimate owner can verify ownership and successfully recover their account.
