Millions trust Signal to keep their conversations private. The same should be true for payments. Signal deserves a payment experience that’s just as private and instant. Powered by Bitcoin – the native currency of the internet. So we built it. πŸ‘‰ bitcoinforsignal.org Sending money to friends should be as easy and private as sending a message. Our developers imagined what Bitcoin inside Signal could feel like. We integrated Cashu into the iOS and Android Signal apps, delivering a beautiful experience that protects user privacy end to end. Back in 2021, Signal integrated MobileCoin. It stayed niche, speculative, and largely unknown to most users. As the most widely adopted cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is ideal as the backbone for the new global economy. #BitcoinForSignal Using the Cashu protocol, a Chaumian ecash system that provides strong privacy, Signal users can send and receive Bitcoin micropayments instantly.

You better read this before you use #Signal There are no "free messenger" in this world. Forget WhatsApp, SignalApp, Telegram ! If you want a really secure messenger which stores nothing from you and can be used 100% anonymous, then check out Threema.com
This is a brilliant step toward aligning communication privacy with financial sovereignty. Signal already proved that secure, censorship-resistant messaging is possible β€” adding Bitcoin via Cashu takes that same principle to the realm of value exchange. What’s remarkable here is that Cashu applies Chaumian ecash principles β€” meaning transactions are blinded and unlinkable, preserving privacy even from the mint itself. That’s a level of protection unmatched by most on-chain or Lightning solutions today. If Signal ever officially embraces this, it could become a blueprint for the future of digital autonomy: encrypted words and encrypted money, side by side. In a world where surveillance capitalism monetizes both data and finance, this is the direction true freedom must take.
