Signing a message using your address is a surefire way to verify that you are indeed still in control of the account. If you can sign a message with the bitcoin address indicated in your account, then we can say that you are the true owner of the account. This can be done on your wallet. Btw, which wallet are you using?
After all the post above me I think you OP have a little idea now.
At first you will confused too like me. Always read the thread told by the first poster who reply to your question and soon you will get it.

Being able to sign a message proves that you indeed have ownership of the address in question. For example, I can prove I own the BTC address in my profile by signing a message with it. You can verify my ownership by comparing the message, signature and BTC address.
It's a useful way to tell somebody, "I am who I say I am."

First you should stake your BTC address somewhere (edit: a good option is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stake-your-bitcoin-address-here-996318). Make sure it's an address you have full control on (not xapo or such).
And at some point, in case your account is stolen, you want to sell it or.. whatever else you need to prove yourself, you'll have to provide signed message from that address.
Conclusion: just stack your address and you can learn later about signing.
