BitChat — The Offline, Decentralized Messenger We Didn’t Know We Needed

[cryptoenthusiast]

So, picture this: no internet? No problem. Jack Dorsey (yes, the Twitter and Bitcoin legend) just launched BitChat, a brand-new offline messenger that lets you send encrypted messages over Bluetooth. Like, real peer-to-peer vibes, no middleman, no servers, nada.

Here’s the tea :

Jack calls it his “weekend project” — you know, just casually building the future while we’re stuck refreshing crypto charts.

Think old-school IRC chat but on blockchain-level privacy and decentralization. No accounts, no emails, no phone numbers — just you and your squad.

Powered by Bluetooth Mesh — every device is a mini node relaying messages, so your texts hop around like ninja turtles until they reach your crew. Perfect for when the Wi-Fi gods are mad or you’re off-grid at some crypto meetup in the mountains.

Text only for now, but Dorsey’s planning to add Wi-Fi to handle those massive NFT drops and meme GIFs.

Cool features for us degenerates:

End-to-end encryption on private chats — gotta protect those alpha leaks, right?

Create secret, password-locked rooms for your inner circle (no snitches allowed).

Send messages with @mentions to grab attention — no more ghosting your DAO mates!

Breaks up big messages into tiny chunks for Bluetooth delivery — like sending tiny crypto transactions but with words.

BitChat’s on iOS TestFlight and macOS if you wanna start building your offline chat empire today.

Imagine chatting with your crypto crew at a no-signal festival or during a network outage without relying on Big Tech servers. This is the kinda decentralization we vibe with.

I’m already downloading it — because if you’re a true crypto fan, you gotta own your own data and chat like it’s 2099. Who’s in?
