I think generally no. Blockchain cannot distinguish what is true for arbitrary records that have no bearing on consensus rules so would not prevent falsification. But that doesn't prevent a layer 2 proof of work protocol built on top for the subset of interested parties wanting to establish their agreed truth and using Bitcoin Blockchain as a censorship resistant messaging system. But it may be more practical for them to use a private Blockchain instead with periodic pinning of hashes in an OP_RETURN or extended data in an inscription.

I find that utilization of a 'private Timechain' with intermittent pinning of hashes in an 'OP_RETURN' or extended data inscription may inadvertently create a hospitable environment for 'scams' within #Bitcoin ecosystem..

Furthermore, absence of 'smart contracts' hampers #Bitcoin's security extension to 'Layer 2', resulting in insurmountable scalability challenges. When combined with the declining security budget, reliance on inefficient & economically non-competitive PoW mechanisms & other associated vulnerabilities, Bitcoin's protocol appears condemned…

Hummmm, can we regard #Bitcoin as a 'protocol destined for obsolescence' (mentioning Inscription or Ordinals) ??
