One of the founders of Twitter, @jack, has once again taken action by launching #Bitchat — a messaging app that enables offline communication via Bluetooth without the need for the internet. Not only does it provide end-to-end encrypted secure chat, but it also supports offline Bitcoin transactions, exploring the integration of decentralized communication with the Bitcoin ecosystem. Core features overview: 🖥️ Offline communication: Bluetooth mesh network, message relay can reach over 300 meters, freeing you from network dependency. 🖥️ Ultimate privacy: No servers, no accounts, no data collection, temporary anonymous identity, end-to-end encryption. 🖥️ Supports offline BTC transactions: Generates and transmits Bitcoin transactions in a no-network state, ultimately chaining them through relay nodes. Potential application scenarios and outlook: 📳 Emergency communication: Provides a lifeline during disasters or network outages; no more disconnection at large concerts. 📳 Private communication: Offers secure, censorship-resistant communication channels for journalists, interviews, and other industries. 📳 Offline payments: Expands Bitcoin's peer-to-peer micropayments in a no-network environment. 📳 Free communication: Builds a decentralized, censorship-resistant network. Comparison with other decentralized social clients: Bitchat is not just a technical experiment; it is a deep exploration of communication freedom and Bitcoin's potential. Especially considering, if we leverage BTC stablecoins + smart contracts #Alkanes, how many interesting new paradigms of the Bitcoin ecosystem could emerge? 🧐 The bankers are going to cry again; why are they always chasing after my life...
