Twitter co-founder and Block Head Jack Dorsey launched a new peer-to-peer messaging app over the weekend called Bitchat that runs entirely over Bluetooth. Bitchat relies on Bluetooth Low Energy mesh networks to send encrypted communications directly to nearby devices without requiring internet or cellular service.

Much like Bitcoin eliminates reliance on centralized intermediaries in finance, Bitchat would removes central authorities from digital communication.
