Jack Dorsey Drops BitChat: The Privacy-First, Decentralized Messenger That Banks Will Hate

Twitter's co-founder just fired another shot across Big Tech's bow—and Wall Street's.

BitChat isn't your grandma's encrypted app. This peer-to-peer protocol cuts out servers, bypasses surveillance, and lets crypto-natives communicate like it's 2045 already. No middlemen. No backdoors. Just encrypted text screaming across the blockchain at light speed.

Dorsey's latest play flips the script on messaging monetization. While Zuckerberg counts ad dollars, BitChat's open-source framework treats privacy as the premium feature. (Take notes, Telegram.)

The kicker? It's Bitcoin-native. Transactions happen on-chain—because apparently Venmo wasn't invasive enough for finance bros. One wallet for payments, one app for DMs, zero patience for legacy systems.

Will it scale? Who cares—the VC lemmings are already throwing money at anything with 'decentralized' in the pitch deck. At least this one's got Dorsey's track record behind it... and the inevitable SEC subpoenas ahead of it.
